About Jennifer
Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a Minnesota LPCC with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are facing addictions, bipolar mood difficulties, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Jennifer also helps with relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, and stress that interfere with daily life.
She centers sessions on the person's own knowledge of their situation. That means listening first and building on strengths a client already has. Jennifer uses clear, goal-focused conversations rather than long lectures or jargon. Sessions emphasize practical steps and decisions a person can use between meetings.
Jennifer draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person's lead and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. These approaches are used together to match what a person needs right now.
In practice she works with concerns like codependency, caregiver stress, communication problems, and substance use alongside mood and anxiety issues. Jennifer addresses intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, and life transitions with straightforward tools and check-ins. She helps people develop clearer boundaries and healthier habits without blaming them for past choices.
Clients can expect direct conversation, goal setting, and check-ins about progress. The focus is on what can be done between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build small, sustainable changes.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the person and build from their strengths and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. That approach tends to help with depression, anxiety, and issues like smoking or substance use. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, conversational way to nudge change when someone feels uncertain; it helps clarify reasons for change and supports commitment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that fit the situation, and adjust over time. This is a cooperative process where the person and therapist decide what methods to use based on needs and preferences.
The therapist's biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session style that does not require video. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while they address codependency, mood, or addiction concerns.
