About Yesica
Yesica Valenton is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and depression. She also addresses issues such as guilt and shame, abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, forgiveness, and isolation.
Yesica approaches therapy believing clients are the experts in their own stories. She helps people notice strengths they already have and uses those strengths to tackle what feels stuck. Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at talking through patterns, feelings, and decisions people face every day.
Her work draws on a blend of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential thinking, and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix lets her look at present patterns and where they began, and then try out different ways of responding. Conversations often cover relationships, inner critical voices, and coping with expectations.
Yesica offers therapy in English and Spanish and practices in California. She describes starting therapy as a courageous step and focuses on supporting people through that early work. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps set small, practical goals for change.
To begin, she guides people through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. The first meetings typically clarify what matters most to the client and what to try next, with attention to everyday life demands and real-world choices.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect a person's values. It can help with guilt, shame, anxiety, and decisions about relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and it supports work on intimacy, trust, and abandonment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may shift as sessions reveal what helps most for day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people appreciate being able to continue work between appointments while balancing parenting, work, and other obligations.
