About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and handle difficult emotions. Yeni creates a calm space where clients can talk honestly about hurt, anger, and relationship problems without fearing judgment.
She helps people unpack trauma, abuse, and grief at a manageable pace. Sessions often include clear tools for coping with overwhelming thoughts and improving sleep and daily routines. She also works on issues connected to codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, and caregiver stress.
Yeni uses well-known approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to break down unhelpful patterns. She also integrates solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and hypnotherapy when clients are curious about that option. The Gottman Method informs her work with relationship communication and problem solving.
Her style is direct but warm, aimed at making changes that fit everyday life. She supports people through career challenges, parenting strain, substance concerns, and the ripple effects of immigration or family separation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Yeni invites those ready to start to follow a simple matching process and schedule a first appointment. She recognizes that reaching out is hard and helps people take the next practical step toward feeling more steady.
How therapy methods translate to online work
Yeni often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns through step-by-step exercises. The Gottman Method is used to improve communication and problem solving in relationships by teaching practical conversation skills and repair techniques. Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and stay present during difficult moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yeni will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day limits, and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. That may mean focusing on short-term solutions first or blending methods over time based on what works.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are set by the practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and making it possible to meet from a quieter location at work or home. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep consistent momentum between appointments.
