About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical strategies for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. Yeni speaks English and Spanish and aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and approachable.
She emphasizes straightforward conversation and clear goals. Sessions often begin by identifying what feels most urgent, then setting small, doable steps to improve daily life.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. Yeni also draws on the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict patterns in relationships. That can include skill-building for clearer conversations, managing disagreements, and rebuilding trust.
Hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques are used when a brief, targeted approach fits a person's goals. People commonly come to her for help with grief, sleep problems, addiction concerns, or career stress. She also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, caregiving strain, codependency, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence.
Her clinical work pays close attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Yeni invites people to take a first step, complete a short questionnaire, and start a plan that feels manageable and specific.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Yeni uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills for coping with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and stress.She also draws on the Gottman Method to focus on communication and interaction patterns in relationships. That approach emphasizes practical exercises for better listening, reducing reactivity, and rebuilding connection when trust has been damaged.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Yeni will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques that match those goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skill practice, phone can be a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief coaching, check-ins between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines and to continue care when schedules change.
