About Yanina
Yanina Lambert is a California LMFT with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common life strains like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tension, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She accepts international clients and brings long experience helping people who face addiction, trauma, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem.
Yanina favors practical conversations that help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She uses clear tools to manage overwhelming feelings, reduce reactivity, and improve communication with partners or family members. Her style is direct and steady, focused on steps people can practice between sessions.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and tolerate difficult emotions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and Attachment-Based ideas to improve connection and trust in relationships. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in the client’s experience.
Clients can expect straightforward skill-building, practical homework, and conversation about real-life situations that trigger anger or stress. Yanina helps people work through family friction, workplace frustration, and the build-up of resentment. She also supports people dealing with loss, chronic health stress, or substance concerns.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with diverse communities and bilingual care in Spanish and English. For those ready to begin, she uses a subscription-based scheduling system that can be canceled at any time and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first session.
How sessions work
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice taking small actions that match those values even when emotions are strong. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress that feeds anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is useful for reducing the automatic thinking that escalates frustration or fuels conflict. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; those skills can make outbursts less frequent and help repair relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Clients can expect a shared process of trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to use brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on needs. It can also let clients practice skills in their usual environments and bring concrete situations to conversation without traveling to an office.
