About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and addiction. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or partner.
Yanina uses plain conversation and focused techniques to help people notice what matters most to them. She listens for patterns in thinking, feeling, and behavior, then works with each person to try small changes that can reduce distress.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and respectful, with room to talk about emotions and real-life choices. Her approach draws on Existential ideas about meaning and personal responsibility, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and attachment-based thinking about closeness and safety. Cognitive tools are used when helpful to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Yanina blends these methods to match each person’s needs rather than using only one fixed method. People often come with parenting stress, intimacy and commitment worries, body image or eating concerns, chronic illness or caregiver strain, and problems with substance use. Yanina also addresses communication problems, blended family transitions, and issues tied to identity and sexuality.
She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so families and individuals can choose what fits their schedules. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that works for them.

Online support
How her approaches work online and in session
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values; it helps people who feel stuck or question what matters in their life by opening up conversations about purpose and responsibility. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and trust in relationships and helps people change how they connect with partners, children, and others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Yanina will listen to your goals, try different methods, and adjust the work based on what helps you make steady progress. The aim is to build a plan together that fits your values, rhythms, and life demands rather than imposing a single technique.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for daily check-ins, short reflections, or when writing helps clarify feelings. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work between sessions.
