About Yeni

Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 12 years of experience. She greets people with practical care and a straightforward approach. Yeni focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns while addressing self esteem and life transitions.

She creates a calm, open space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions often focus on clear steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Yeni uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, repair communication, and build coping skills.

Her background spans work with trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, grief, and caregiver strain. She also supports people facing intimacy-related problems, parenting stress, career shifts, and issues tied to immigration or family conflict. This range gives her practical experience with common life challenges.

Yeni blends structured techniques with collaborative goal-setting. That might look like trying a behavior-focused skill one week and a relational exercise the next. She encourages small, measurable changes that fit into a person’s routine.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist’s availability. The process aims to make the first steps clear and manageable.

How Yeni’s approaches translate to online work

Yeni often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep-related concerns. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and relationship patterns through practical exercises and structured conversations that improve connection and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Yeni will talk with a person about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so methods match the client’s needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Therapists often use a mix of conversation, skill practice, and brief assignments to make progress between meetings.
