About Yanlin

Yanlin Tso is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. Yanlin works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and a wide range of life changes. They also support LGBT concerns, relationship and communication problems, and issues linked to chronic illness or disability.

Yanlin uses a strengths-based, person-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what a person already knows and can do, then build practical skills for coping and clearer decision making. Mindfulness and body-centered practices are offered alongside talking work to help people notice how their body and mind respond to stress.

They aim to reduce barriers related to stigma and bias, and practice from a culturally conscious, healing-justice framework. That means attention to how identity and social pressures affect well-being and the steps people use to stay resourced. Yanlin supports people regardless of ability, gender identity, race, or sexual orientation.

Therapy sessions often include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing-style coaching, and somatic methods to address how thoughts, feelings, and bodily responses interact. The focus is on clear goals, manageable steps, and real-world skills for handling anxiety, addiction, career questions, or relationship strain.

People who prefer direct, practical conversation about change tend to fit well. Yanlin accepts international clients and uses English for sessions. For booking, follow the site's scheduling flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to set a first appointment.

How Yanlin uses ACT, mindfulness and somatic work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about relationships or career. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and strengthen focus, often helpful for stress, rumination, and pacing daily tasks. Somatic therapy involves learning to read body signals and use grounding or movement-based practices to calm physical responses linked to anxiety or trauma.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Yanlin will talk with each person about goals, habits, and what feels manageable. Together they will try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the mix of ACT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing elements, or somatic work as needed.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that online work fits into busy days more easily, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to try skills in everyday settings and bring those real-life experiences back into conversation with the therapist.
