About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and addiction. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Yanina uses several therapeutic approaches to help people manage emotions and improve relationships. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on helping clients name difficult feelings, notice patterns, and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her style emphasizes clear, practical tools. Clients can expect conversations that identify what's getting in the way and small steps to change daily habits. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, eating or sleeping concerns, parenting stress, and bipolar mood challenges.
Yanina has worked across diverse communities and brings two decades of experience to clinical work. She helps people address blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, substance use issues, and other co-occurring concerns.

How Yanina Applies EFT, ACT and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on moments of strong emotion and the patterns those moments create in relationships. In practice this means naming hard-to-identify feelings and tracing how they shape interactions and attachment responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when anxiety or avoidance keeps someone from acting on what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people try new ways of connecting and regulating emotion.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Yanina collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited over time so the approach can shift as progress is made or new issues appear.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They also let people work from wherever they can have quieter surroundings or a simpler setup, and they can make it easier to maintain continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals and therapists will discuss the best rhythm and session length during the initial scheduling process.
