About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, and addictions. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and supports clients across cultures.
Yanina uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance and emotion-focused approaches to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple exercises clients can use between meetings.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including family strain, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. She also addresses complex presentations such as co-morbidity, attachment issues, codependency, and substance use concerns. The focus is on manageable steps rather than long explanations.
In sessions she helps people reflect on what’s keeping them stuck and build skills to make different choices. She offers practical tools for coping with painful memories, reducing unhelpful thinking, and improving communication. Progress is tracked against clear, agreed-upon goals so people can see what changes.
Yanina works with adults across cultural backgrounds and supports international clients. Her approach is straightforward and action-oriented, aimed at helping people reduce symptoms and improve how they relate to themselves and others.
How CBT, ACT and Attachment work in online sessions
Yanina often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, skill practice, and short exercises that people can use between meetings to test new ways of responding.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify values that guide concrete behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early attachment experiences affect current trust and closeness; sessions identify interaction patterns and try new ways of relating.
Finding the best fit is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps keep work focused and practical rather than theoretical.
The benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when needed, and options for people in different locations. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work is presented as a way to continue structured, skills-based therapy while accommodating everyday routines.
