About Jennifer
Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is an LPCC licensed in Minnesota with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, stress, and related concerns. Sessions address practical problems such as coping with life changes, managing mood, and navigating relationship and communication issues.
Her approach centers on evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try small behavior changes, and track what works. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to explore readiness for change, especially around substance use and smoking or vaping cessation.
Jennifer focuses on a broad set of concerns that include trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, ADHD, gender dysphoria, and caregiver stress. She also addresses co-morbidity, codependency, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. The aim is practical problem solving rather than labels.
She frames work as collaborative and concrete. Sessions tend to focus on identifying specific patterns, testing small changes between meetings, and reviewing progress. Goals are set together and adjusted as needs shift.
Jennifer notes weekend availability in her original biography. People who prefer English language sessions can expect to work in that language. International clients are accepted, and session logistics are arranged during the sign-up process.
Using CBT and Motivational Interviewing in online sessions
Jennifer commonly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice stressful thoughts and habits, test small behavior changes, and measure what makes daily life easier. CBT here means breaking problems into specific situations, thoughts, feelings, and actions to find practical steps forward.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and building understanding so clients can clarify goals and make choices that fit their values. Motivational Interviewing is offered when exploring readiness to change, for example with substance use or smoking and vaping cessation, by helping people weigh pros and cons and set manageable next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide whether CBT, Client-Centered methods, Motivational Interviewing, or a combination makes sense based on goals and preferences.
