Yeni Hercules, LMFT

Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent or someone under pressure.

Yeni keeps sessions direct and practical. She helps people name patterns that cause distress and teaches simple tools to change them. Techniques often focus on thoughts, behaviors, and present-day skills so progress can show up between sessions.

Her work often includes support around grief, addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem, and career stress. She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication breakdowns, and the strain of caregiving. These topics are handled with clear goals and practical steps rather than long, abstract discussion.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Yeni often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. CBT is useful for mood concerns, worry, and sleep problems.

She also draws on the Gottman Method when addressing relationship dynamics. This approach focuses on practical skills for better communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust over time.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Yeni works with clients to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as needs change. The plan usually starts small and grows as people see what helps.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
