About Yi
Yi Ling Benson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports clients coping with relationship concerns, family conflict, and struggles with self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Cantonese, and she accepts international clients.
She uses a straightforward, respectful approach and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Yi Ling listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. From there she and the client set small, doable goals to make daily life feel more manageable.
Her work draws on approaches that include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, the Gottman Method, and narrative therapy. That mix lets her address mood, attachment, communication problems, and life changes like separation or shifting roles at work.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps - noticing unhelpful thinking, trying new ways of talking with others, and experimenting with different reactions in everyday moments. She will tailor a plan that fits each person’s pace and priorities.
Yi Ling has four years of clinical experience in California. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can explore goals like greater confidence, healthier relationships, and clearer life direction.
