Yeni Hercules, LMFT

Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and difficulties managing anger. Yeni approaches each person with respect and calm, creating a space where thoughts and emotions can be expressed without fear of judgment.

As an LMFT, Yeni brings training in working with individuals, couples, and families to address patterns that affect wellbeing and relationships. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that help clients move forward. Recognizing that starting therapy takes courage, she affirms each person’s decision to seek help and partners with them to set goals and track progress. Yeni aims to make the process approachable and supportive for those taking their first steps toward change.

Approaches for Online Care and Lasting Change

Yeni commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies for change. CBT is useful for managing stress and anxiety by teaching coping skills and restructuring negative thinking.

She also draws on the Gottman Method to support couples and relationship work, focusing on improving communication, reducing conflict, and rebuilding connection through research-based interventions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Yeni collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Yeni is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while balancing other responsibilities, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to tailor pacing and format to each client’s life.
