About Yeni

Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship struggles. Her approach is straightforward and warm, inviting honest conversation without judgment. Yeni encourages the small first step of reaching out and recognizes that starting therapy can take courage.

She uses practical methods to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems active. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice feelings without getting swept up by them. Solution-Focused work keeps sessions aimed at clear, achievable goals the person wants to reach.

Her experience includes working with grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting challenges, addictions, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. Yeni blends approaches to fit the problem at hand and the person sitting in front of her.

Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. She helps people think through next steps for daily coping, relationship repair, and managing impulses. Yeni aims to make therapy a practical part of life rather than a separate task.

People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. The process is designed to pair needs and goals with a clear plan for moving forward.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Yeni uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood and to practice different behaviors that lead to better outcomes. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and step-by-step plans for change. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of emotions and physical sensations so reactions like anger can be noticed earlier and managed more calmly. These practices are brief and can be practiced between sessions in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Yeni will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on current struggles, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made and adjusts the plan when something isn’t helping.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to practice skills in real life between meetings and to bring real situations into discussion for immediate problem solving.
