About Yesica
Yesica Valenton is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, try small changes, and practice different ways of responding. That can mean looking at how thoughts, behaviors, and close relationships interact when someone feels overwhelmed or isolated.
Yesica draws on several therapy styles to match what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and repeating past patterns in current relationships.
She also integrates existential and psychodynamic perspectives when it helps people reflect on meaning, past experiences, and recurring emotional patterns. This can be useful for clients wrestling with life purpose, guilt, shame, or feelings of abandonment. Practical communication skills and approaches to managing control issues and loneliness are common topics in her work.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Yesica notes that cost varies with location and that services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapy approaches and how online sessions work
Yesica often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and trust, helping people see how early relationship experiences can shape current intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adjust techniques based on a client's goals, life circumstances, and how they respond in sessions. That means trying interventions, checking how they land, and shifting course when something isn't helpful.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find remote appointments easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it simpler to continue work while traveling. Discussing practical preferences at the first meeting helps shape a plan that fits into everyday life without assuming any single format.
