Yeni Hercules , LMFT

Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Yeni focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and relationship concerns among other life challenges.

Clients can expect a calm, open space to talk through what matters to them. Yeni aims to help people name patterns, build coping skills, and make concrete changes that fit daily life. She uses straightforward methods so conversations lead to practical steps.

Her work often includes addressing attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Parenting strain, sleep problems, and career-related stress are common topics in her practice.

Yeni draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity. She also uses hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques when they match a person’s goals. The Gottman Method is used for relationship-focused work when relevant.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How Yeni’s Approaches Work Online

Yeni often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short-term goals to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change patterns that cause distress.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Mindfulness techniques can help with sleep difficulties, anger, compassion fatigue, and daily worry by training attention and calm responses.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Yeni will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, Gottman-style relationship work, or solution-focused strategies are the best fit.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be a quick way to check in, track progress, or get brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
