Yeni Hercules

Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of experience. She uses clear, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and trauma. Yeni aims to make the first step feel manageable and respected.

She draws on mindfulness therapy to help clients notice their thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, practical changes clients can try between meetings.

Yeni brings experience supporting people facing addiction, anger, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She also helps clients work through attachment concerns, codependency, commitment worries, and separation or divorce issues. Conversations often include steps for communication, boundary setting, and rebuilding trust.

Her approach includes solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and measure progress. She may also use elements of the Gottman method for relationship work and hypnotherapy when it fits a person’s needs. The therapist adapts techniques to each person rather than following a single script.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Yeni encourages people to move at a comfortable pace and to bring what matters most to them into the room. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic methods fit into online care

Yeni uses mindfulness therapy to help people learn to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing stress, improving sleep, and calming anxiety by practicing focused attention and grounding exercises.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines. For relationship-focused work she may draw on elements of the Gottman method to improve communication and problem solving between partners.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Yeni will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and check progress as they go, adjusting the plan when needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving, they remove commute time, and shorter check-ins can be arranged when needed. These practical benefits can help people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday responsibilities.
