About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, grief, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. She speaks English and Spanish and offers a calm, approachable way of working that aims to make sessions feel practical and useful. Yanina focuses on helping people build skills, reflect on patterns, and take small steps toward better days.
She uses a mix of familiar counseling methods to match each person's needs. Sessions often involve learning new behavior strategies, practicing emotion regulation skills, and strengthening attachment and communication in close relationships. Yanina encourages straightforward talk and specific tools people can use between sessions.
Her background spans two decades in community and clinical settings in California. That experience includes supporting people through depression, trauma, parenting stress, chronic illness, and changes after separation. She has worked with a range of cultural backgrounds and brings bilingual care in English and Spanish.
In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and test different ways of responding. She supports people to set realistic goals and try new habits that improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.
To begin, Yanina asks about current struggles and priorities, then suggests practical steps to try. She emphasizes small, steady changes that fit into everyday life rather than quick fixes.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep struggles.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships affect emotions and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in bonds with partners or caregivers and practice new ways of relating that can reduce conflict and improve intimacy.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can include skill practice, behavior experiments, and conversations about relationships to see what feels most helpful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment isn't possible. It also makes bilingual English-Spanish options more accessible for people living outside the area. Discuss practical scheduling and format preferences when arranging the first appointment so sessions match everyday routines and goals.
