About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship concerns. Yeni also works with issues like addiction, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Her approach mixes practical techniques and conversational work. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to look at thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to build short-term skills and clearer steps forward.
Sessions are described as straightforward and down-to-earth. Yeni aims to create a place where clients can talk through feelings and reactions without judgment. She often works on communication, boundary setting, and ways to reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
She brings experience addressing deeper patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and family conflict. Yeni also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, immigration-related strain, and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence.
Yeni offers therapy in English and Spanish. Her work includes relationship-focused techniques like the Gottman Method alongside hypnotherapy tools where appropriate. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and next steps are clear.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Yeni uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work, which looks at communication patterns and practical skills for improving how partners relate to one another. Mindfulness therapy shows people simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve sleep or emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Yeni collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term steps and review what is and is not helping as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or let someone use audio-only if they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, Gottman and mindfulness techniques for remote sessions so practical skill-building and communication work still happen even when meeting online.
