About Xkizin

Xkizin Wright, LMFT, brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in California. She combines practical tools with trauma-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, addiction, mood concerns, and a wide range of other life difficulties.

Background and approach

Xkizin emphasizes helping clients recognize and change unhelpful thinking patterns, soothe intense emotions, and rebuild healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Her work integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), hypnotherapy, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Xkizin offers support for intimacy-related issues, parenting and fatherhood concerns, body image and eating struggles, as well as complex themes like attachment, abandonment, infidelity, and forgiveness. She also provides coaching-style guidance for career transitions and coping with life changes.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental, encouraging environment where emotions are validated and new skills are practiced. Xkizin aims to help people reduce distressing thoughts and feelings, improve communication within relationships, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and purposeful.

Therapeutic approaches and online options



Xkizin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to shift thinking and behavior, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates EMDR for trauma work, using structured processing techniques to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories and related symptoms. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor a combination of methods that fits the person’s circumstances rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and use brief coaching or skills practice between longer sessions.
