About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who draws on 12 years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and anger.
Background and approach
She blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a compassionate stance, inviting clients to explore patterns that maintain distress and learn new ways of coping. Her work emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and skills-building, often integrating cognitive behavioral tools to reframe unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
She also uses approaches that support relationship repair and deeper emotional processing when appropriate, helping clients address issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, addictions, caregiving stress, and communication challenges. Yeni aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where feelings and experiences can be shared and examined.
She encourages clients to take incremental steps toward healthier functioning and provides coaching-style support for career questions, parenting pressures, and life transitions. Sessions are available in English and Spanish to accommodate bilingual clients in California.
Evidence-Informed Methods for Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges by teaching practical coping skills. The Gottman Method emphasizes improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust within relationships through structured exercises and intervention strategies. Hypnotherapy can be used as a complementary technique to access focused relaxation and support behavior change for issues such as stress, sleep, and habit patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yeni works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and experiences and will tailor techniques from different methods to fit each person’s needs. She emphasizes shared decision-making so clients understand why particular strategies are recommended and can provide feedback as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access across busy schedules. These options make it possible to continue care from home or work, accommodate varying comfort levels with technology, and allow for brief check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on each client’s needs.
