About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens to what is happening at home and helps people develop clear strategies to manage emotions and improve communication. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based practices to address thoughts, behaviors, and values.
Yanina also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She helps people notice how they relate to others and try new responses when old patterns cause conflict. Dialectical behavior tools are offered for managing strong emotions and building coping skills.
Clients who bring concerns about parenting, blended family stress, or caregiver strain will find focused, behavior-oriented suggestions to try between sessions. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating or sleeping problems, chronic illness, and substance issues by breaking challenges into manageable steps.
Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill practice, and regular check-ins about what is and isn’t working. The intent is to give concrete tools for daily life, not abstract labels, and to help people make steady, practical changes over time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It focuses on building willingness to feel hard emotions while taking steps toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and helps people try new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yanina will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That plan can change as progress is made, with therapy shaped by what helps most in day-to-day life.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments. Online meetings can make it easier to have a shorter check-in, avoid travel time, or use a phone call when bandwidth is limited. A conversation about scheduling and format is part of the first steps in setting up care.
