    About Yanlin

    Yanlin Tso is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people feel seen and accepted. Yanlin greets each person with respect for their identity and lived experience. They emphasize strength, dignity, and practical steps toward clearer days.

    Yanlin trained at Florida State University and brings nine years of clinical experience in multiple settings. Their background includes supporting people facing discrimination, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, and LGBT related concerns. Yanlin uses a strengths-based frame to build on what clients already do well.

    In sessions the focus is on a trusting relationship first. Yanlin centers what the person wants and values and asks how therapy can match those goals. They work with clients to identify obstacles and practical strategies for change, not just talk about problems.

    Yanlin integrates Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and somatic ideas. That mix is used to help with motivation, values-driven choices, emotion regulation, and body awareness. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth.

    People come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, career decisions, and navigating life changes. Yanlin also supports those managing chronic illness or exploring gender and identity questions. Their approach aims to make change feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

  2. How Motivational Interviewing and ACT fit online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person's own reasons for change, using open questions and reflective listening to build motivation. It can help people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them and choose actions that match their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

    Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Yanlin will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. The process is collaborative, and adjustments are made if something does not feel helpful.

    The original profile did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to join from different locations if they live outside the therapist's office region. Talk with Yanlin about what will work best for scheduling, pacing, and the kinds of exercises you want to try.
