Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 12 years of professional experience. As an LMFT, she brings specialized training in relationships and family systems to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and anger.

Her approach is centered on understanding each person’s experience and working together toward meaningful progress.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Yeni often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for addressing depression, worry, and everyday coping challenges.

For relationship and couples work, the Gottman Method provides structured tools to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen connection. It centers on observable behaviors and skills that partners can practice to rebuild trust and improve closeness.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce rumination. Simple mindfulness practices can help with stress regulation, emotional balance, and improving focus during times of transition.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Yeni works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals tailor interventions and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and daily life while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship with a trained therapist.
