About Socorro
Socorro Yang is a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, and supports those trying to build self-esteem or manage life transitions. Sessions can be held in English or Spanish.
She helps people address shame and guilt tied to relationships, faith, or past actions. She also works with panic, post-traumatic stress, and the strain of workplace problems. Conversations often focus on clearer communication and repairing attachment wounds.
Socorro also supports people during pregnancy and childbirth and with questions about forgiveness. She guides people dealing with isolation and with finding a clearer sense of purpose. Practical coping skills are part of her work for day-to-day stress and panic symptoms.
Her approach is culturally responsive, so background and identity are part of the conversation. That means she pays attention to how culture shapes painful feelings and the choices people make. Language needs are addressed directly, with sessions available in English and Spanish.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The process is straightforward and aims to clarify immediate concerns and set practical next steps. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Socorro uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and understanding. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing and grounding strategies, practicing short behavioral steps, and reviewing what helps in real life. This can help when panic attacks or intense anxiety make day-to-day tasks harder.Another approach centers on processing trauma and post-traumatic stress through paced, stepwise work. That involves carefully looking at distressing memories, identifying unhelpful patterns that follow them, and learning ways to reduce reactivity. This work also supports people coping with guilt or shame that ties back to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan along the way.
The practical benefits of online sessions should be confirmed before booking because session formats are not specified in the biography. Ask which formats are offered when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can occur during a break at work or between commitments.
