About YiChing
YiChing Trenkamp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She draws on several therapy approaches, including somatic work, to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Her style is steady and practical, aimed at creating clarity in confusing times.
YiChing offers a calm space to slow down and notice what is happening in the body and mind. Sessions focus on understanding daily patterns, managing strong emotions, and improving important relationships.
Background and approach
Conversations are paired with simple practices people can use between meetings. Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, mood changes, substance use, eating-related issues, and grief. She also addresses identity questions, communication struggles, and caregiver stress.
Clients who want a mix of talk and body-aware strategies often find this helpful. YiChing uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements from dialectical behavior approaches. She aims to help people notice what matters to them, build useful skills, and take small steps toward their goals.
Progress is treated as a gradual, collaborative process. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the therapist's availability.
Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How somatic and skills-based approaches work online
YiChing uses somatic-informed methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Somatic approaches help people notice physical sensations and movement patterns related to stress and emotion, and then learn gentle ways to shift those sensations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values, accepting difficult thoughts, and taking actions that match what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. YiChing will talk with clients about what feels most useful, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on the client's goals and preferences. The aim is to build practical tools and a clear sense of next steps together.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It also supports using in-the-moment strategies at home or during a break at work so people can practice skills in real life and bring those experiences back to sessions.
