About Yesica

Yesica Valenton is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping a person feel safer talking about what matters most and finding practical steps forward.

Yesica believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into the room.

Background and approach

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps clients notice patterns that cause pain. Small changes and clearer communication are common early goals. Her training includes approaches that look at thoughts, behavior, and how early relationships shape current life.

She uses tools from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. Attachment-based ideas inform work on closeness and trust. Sessions may include talking through difficult moments, practicing new ways to respond, and setting manageable goals between meetings.

She aims to make steps practical and doable for day-to-day life. Yesica holds a California LMFT credential (CA LMFT 151629) and has three years of professional experience. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging and does not accept international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Yesica often draws from acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based therapy in her online work. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions, and it supports choosing behaviors that match personal values. Attachment-based therapy explores how early patterns of closeness affect current relationships and can help with trust, intimacy, and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process helps shape which tools and exercises feel most useful over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting, work, and other obligations. The variety also allows shifting between longer conversations and brief check-ins as needs change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
