About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on clear, practical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Yeni speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps of therapy straightforward and manageable for clients.
She draws on approaches that include the Gottman Method for relationship work and cognitive behavioral therapy for thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Yeni also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to support coping and change. Hypnotherapy is another option she offers when it fits a person's goals. Sessions are aimed at helping people name what feels hard, try small changes, and notice what shifts.
She encourages honest conversation about emotions, boundaries, and patterns that keep people stuck. Communication skills, managing anger, and dealing with grief or loss are common topics in her work. Yeni pays attention to life stressors like caregiving strain, immigration challenges, or career pressure.
She also helps people address attachment concerns, codependency, commitment worries, and intimacy-related issues. Practical problem-solving and coping strategies are woven into talks about feelings. People can expect a direct, compassionate pace and tools they can use between sessions.
Yeni works with each person to set clear goals and track progress over time. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on helping clients move toward better daily functioning and relationships.

Online support
How online therapy and practical approaches fit together
Yeni uses the Gottman Method to help people look at communication patterns and small daily habits that affect connection and conflict. That approach focuses on improving how people talk and solve problems together, which can help with relationship stress and recurring arguments.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems by teaching practical skills someone can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yeni collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the approach feels useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping treatment consistent.
