About Yanlin

Yanlin Tso is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. Yanlin focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, relationship concerns, and life purpose among other issues, and works with people across diverse gender identities and abilities. Sessions emphasize a person-centered, strengths-based stance that centers the client's goals and values.

Yanlin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and somatic ideas in session. The approach aims to help people notice what matters to them, build practical coping skills, and draw on strengths they already have. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on real-life steps rather than abstract labels.

Yanlin says therapy should address the social and cultural pressures clients face. Conversations may include the effects of discrimination, gender identity concerns, neurodivergence, chronic illness, or intersectional stress. The therapist attends to how those factors shape daily coping and decision making.

In sessions, Yanlin works with concrete goals such as improving communication, managing anxiety, addressing addiction patterns, or clarifying career and life-purpose questions. Techniques may include mindfulness practice, values clarification, motivational reflection, and tracking body-based reactions to stress.

Clients who prefer a collaborative and pragmatic process may find this style useful. New clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see how the approach fits their needs.

How ACT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small, workable steps that reflect those values. It is often used for anxiety, life-purpose questions, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a collaborative relationship so the client leads the priorities and pace. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Yanlin will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. This collaborative process may include short experiments, values exercises, and body-awareness practices to see what helps most.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins between in-person visits. Some people prefer audio-only calls when bandwidth or camera time is difficult, while others use video for visual cues during mindfulness and somatic exercises. Yanlin can help decide which format best suits your goals and routine.
