About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She draws on 12 years of clinical experience to help people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes.
Background and approach
She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Yeni creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment.
She emphasizes clear communication and workable steps clients can try between sessions. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and closeness where relationship concerns are present.
Meditation and hypnotherapy tools are offered for people who respond well to somatic and mindfulness-based approaches. Solution-Focused techniques help when clients want brief, goal-oriented work that produces concrete change quickly.
Yeni speaks English and Spanish and helps clients navigate issues such as attachment wounds, codependency, caregiver stress, grief, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, and addiction-related problems. She also supports people managing immigration stress, guilt, shame, and commitment or jealousy struggles.
She encourages a collaborative process where goals are clear and progress is reviewed often. Yeni invites those considering therapy to take the first step and complete the short matching questionnaire to see if her approach feels like a good fit.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Yeni often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well in short teaching-focused sessions and homework practice. The Gottman Method is used when communication and closeness are a concern, offering specific exercises and conversation skills that can be practiced between meetings.Deciding which approach to try is a shared process. Yeni will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most. The collaboration helps keep work focused and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break from work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style support when a quick check-in is helpful.
