About YiChing
YiChing Trenkamp is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and helps them make sense of overwhelming feelings and confusing life moments. Sessions focus on listening carefully and finding practical next steps that fit each person's life.
Her background includes work with anxiety, depression, addictions, eating concerns, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting stress. She also pays attention to multicultural issues, body image, attachment concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Those matters often show up together, and she helps people untangle what matters most to them. YiChing uses Narrative approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She blends these ways of working to match each person's goals, not to follow a fixed formula.
Conversations look at stories people tell about themselves and then test small changes that feel doable. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative. She encourages people to name values, try new behaviors, and notice what changes.
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded so people can carry learning into everyday life. YiChing offers work in English and Mandarin. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How narrative and behavioral approaches translate to online work
YiChing blends Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative work looks at the stories you tell about your life and relationships, then opens space to try alternative ways of thinking and acting. ACT helps people clarify values and take committed steps even when feelings are difficult. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing changes through small experiments.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. The plan may draw on more than one method so it fits your needs and the pace you want.
