Yanina Lambert is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and addiction concerns.

She tailors these methods to each person’s needs and goals. The aim is to help people build on their strengths and make choices that lead to better daily functioning and more satisfying relationships.
Her background includes two decades of clinical practice with diverse populations in California. She has experience addressing blended family issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and co-occurring mental health and substance concerns. Yanina encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps toward a life that matters to the person, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. It helps people understand attachment needs and try new ways of relating, which can improve intimacy and reduce reactive behavior in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Yanina will discuss options and adjust methods based on each person’s goals, preferences, and life situation. That collaborative process helps identify whether ACT, attachment work, CBT skills, or other techniques fit best.
If you prefer remote care, confirm available session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people join from different locations when international scheduling is required. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what will work for your routine and needs.
