About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with two decades of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, and struggles with addiction.
Background and approach
She offers support for a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy and sexual issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and family challenges, self-esteem and anger, as well as bipolar disorder and complicated co-occurring problems.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, she brings a comfort with culturally diverse clients and a broad scope of clinical focus areas that also includes attachment problems, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and substance-related issues.
Lambert integrates structured and evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to individual needs. She emphasizes practical skill-building, self-reflection, and collaborative problem solving to help clients identify patterns, make decisions, and develop new coping strategies.
Based in California, she combines warm, supportive rapport with a clear focus on helping people move toward greater well-being and healthier relationships.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Yanina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-guided action, mindful acceptance of difficult feelings, and greater psychological flexibility for people facing grief, chronic problems, or life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is another framework she brings into work on relationship dynamics and family patterns, helping clients understand attachment needs and reshape interactional habits.Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they assess what is working, try different techniques when needed, and adjust the plan as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Yanina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, caregiving, and other commitments. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and access ongoing coaching and skill practice between appointments.
