About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger. She creates a welcoming space where people can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Yeni encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports that first step.
Her approach blends practical tools with thoughtful listening. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on mindfulness practices to build calm and awareness during stressful moments.
When relationships are a central concern, she may use elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and connection. For some clients she uses solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and track progress week to week. Hypnotherapy is another option she may offer as a complementary tool when appropriate.
Yeni has worked across a wide range of life challenges. These include grief, parenting strain, career stress, addiction-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, and the fallout of divorce or separation.
Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. Yeni asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and to schedule sessions based on her availability. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Yeni commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during everyday moments.She also integrates elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are central. Those methods focus on improving communication and managing conflict in ways that strengthen connection. Solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, short-term goals and notice progress between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Yeni will discuss options with each person and tailor strategies based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She encourages clients to try methods in-session and adapt them as needed so the plan fits their life.
