Yanina Lambert, LMFT

Yanina Lambert is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports those managing addictions, sleep or eating concerns, parenting stress, and career-related challenges.

Yanina uses practical methods to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reshape unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-life steps clients can try between meetings.

Her approach is warm and client-centered. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can reflect, gain tools, and make changes. Yanina pays attention to attachment dynamics and relationship patterns when those issues affect mood or behavior.

Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, and complex situations like co-morbidity or chronic illness. She also helps people with communication problems, blended family challenges, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or substance misuse.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled to suit different needs. Yanina supports people who prefer phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging formats. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match clients to her style and availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Yanina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT sessions usually involve identifying specific thoughts, testing them against real evidence, and trying small behavioral experiments to shift daily routines and mood.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take action in those directions. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to value-driven steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and persistent stress.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Yanina will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt her methods to fit your needs. Clients and therapist choose techniques together and review what is helping as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work in real time with visual cues, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option for focused conversations, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different locations.
