Yanina Lambert

Yanina Lambert is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with two decades of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, grief, depression, or substance concerns. She speaks both English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on usable tools - skills for managing strong emotions, clearer ways to communicate, and steps to rebuild trust or routine.

Yanina blends several common therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values, and attachment-informed work to improve how people connect with others. Dialectical strategies and a client-centered stance guide how she works in session.

She has substantial experience with parenting and blended family issues, body image and eating concerns, addiction and substance use, chronic pain or illness, and complex relationship patterns like codependency and control issues. Yanina also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence, and major life transitions.

Her sessions aim to build self-awareness and practical coping skills. The focus is on small, steady changes that help people feel more in control and more hopeful about daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Yanina uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas that translate well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can be practiced between meetings. Attachment-based work looks at how people relate to others and helps build safer ways of connecting and communicating.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change over time as needs shift, and the work is collaborative throughout.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular check-ins. Online sessions also let people practice skills in the contexts where they live and relate, which can make learning more practical and immediate.
