Yesica Valenton , LMFT

Yesica Valenton is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports parents and people dealing with depression. Yesica speaks English and Spanish and approaches each person with respect for their experience and strengths.

She believes clients know their own stories and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. The goal is clearer decision making, reduced overwhelm, and more satisfying connections with others.

Yesica uses several evidence-informed methods to guide therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships that show up now. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing valued actions even when emotions are strong.

Her background includes three years of clinical work in California as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. That experience has included working with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and loneliness.

People often come to her to work through pregnancy and childbirth stress, questions about life purpose, and challenges around self-love and forgiveness. Sessions aim to be collaborative, paced to each person, and focused on everyday changes that add up over time.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making changes aligned with values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current intimacy and communication, helping people understand and shift recurring ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yesica will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and pace. That can mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting if something else would work better.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone can ease scheduling and requires less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into workdays, parenting schedules, and busy lives while keeping focus on progress and practical change.
