About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and phobias among other concerns. Yanina speaks English and Spanish and brings twenty years of clinical experience to her work.
She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Clients can expect calm listening and clear tools to manage daily symptoms like sleep trouble, anger, or low mood. She often helps people sort through relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and the impact of trauma or substance use on daily life.
Background and approach
Yanina uses a mix of methods to suit the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and on attachment-focused ideas to improve how people and partners relate. Mindful, acceptance-based strategies are also used to reduce avoidance and build values-driven action.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Yanina encourages self-reflection, skill building, and decision making that lead to clearer boundaries and more satisfying relationships.
People looking for therapy can expect straightforward guidance and multiple ways of working, including conversation and skills practice. Her bilingual ability makes it easier for English- or Spanish-speaking clients to talk about sensitive topics and feel understood.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Yanina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, phobias, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people improve communication, closeness, and trust.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people live by their values even when uncomfortable feelings arise. Finding the right approach is part of the process - the therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set priorities and adjust strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face to face from different places, phone can be a shorter check-in that needs less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can fit into busy days for brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use approaches like CBT, ACT, and attachment work in day-to-day life.
