About Siu-Lin

Siu-Lin Robinson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of professional experience based in the District of Columbia. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, career challenges, and those seeking executive coaching. Sessions are conducted in English and she is not accepting international clients.

Robinson focuses on practical, everyday concerns. She helps clients talk through what’s happening now and plan steps they can try between sessions. Common topics she sees include workplace stress, money and career pressures, relationship conflict, and coping with loss. She also supports people navigating non-traditional relationship structures and sexual cultures, as well as aging and end-of-life issues.

Her background includes work across settings that exposed her to grief care, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and situations involving hoarding and narcissistic dynamics. She has experience with issues related to infidelity, divorce and separation, codependency, and post-traumatic stress. Those looking for help with polyamory or other non-monogamous arrangements may find her familiarity useful.

Robinson describes clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on their strengths to address current challenges. She integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into sessions while keeping conversations focused and practical. The process aims to make change manageable, with clear next steps clients can try between meetings.

To begin, prospective clients use the site matching process to schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Two evidence-based techniques commonly used in settings like hers are focused problem-solving and grief-focused support. Focused problem-solving breaks issues into manageable steps, helps identify small changes to try, and is useful for workplace stress, money concerns, or career decisions. Grief-focused support gives space to process loss, learn coping practices, and plan how to handle milestones and reminders that can be difficult.

She emphasizes teaming up with clients to find the right approach. Sessions begin by looking at your goals, day-to-day pressures, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide which techniques to try and the therapist adjusts methods as things change or progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it easier to meet when schedules are tight. If a client prefers video-free check-ins or shorter meetings to accommodate work breaks, discuss those preferences when scheduling so the therapist can plan sessions that fit into everyday routines.
