About Yeni
Yeni Hercules is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 12 years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence so people can talk about what keeps them up at night. Yeni emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions and clear goals for therapy.
She often helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, and sleeping problems.

Issues like control, codependency, attachment wounds, and compassion fatigue are also common topics in her work.
Yeni uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness therapy and hypnotherapy are used to help reduce arousal and improve sleep. The Gottman Method and solution-focused techniques guide concrete steps for relationship changes.
Sessions focus on clear, doable strategies and steady progress. Yeni values collaboration and helps people set realistic goals. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in California.
If you are thinking about therapy, she asks for a short matching questionnaire to get started and will work with you to schedule sessions according to availability. The approach is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people find better sleep, calmer days, and stronger relationships.
Approaches that translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce nighttime arousal, which often supports better rest.She views finding the right approach as a shared process. Yeni will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay focused and practical.

Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives - it can make it easier to keep appointments, use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or choose a session style that matches energy levels on a given day. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to remote settings so clients can practice strategies between meetings and work toward calmer sleep and daily routines.
