About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a California LMFT with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addictions, codependency concerns, and related struggles. She speaks English and Spanish.
Yanina focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She listens to what is happening now and helps people identify small, doable steps forward. Sessions include talking through relationship patterns, examining responses to stress, and practicing new ways to set limits and care for oneself.
Her background is in family and marriage therapy, and she has worked with people from Latino and Caucasian communities. Yanina draws on a range of therapies to match what a person needs. In session she encourages self-reflection and helps clients build skills they can use outside appointments.
She often helps people manage painful emotions and improve communication. That can mean working on anger, grief, intimacy issues, sleep or eating concerns, or substance use. Yanina also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness, blended family difficulties, or attachment challenges.
Her approach blends active skill teaching with supportive conversation. Over many years she has helped clients clarify priorities, try new behaviors, and make decisions that increase daily functioning. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior and helps people try new ways of relating when intimacy or trust feels hard.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yanina will discuss options and together decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools from therapy models until something feels useful.
Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited, while others use video for longer conversations. Ask about the specific formats offered so sessions match daily routines and needs.
