About Jennifer
Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard changes and painful patterns. She works from a belief that each person knows their story best and can build on their own strengths to make meaningful shifts. She brings six years of professional experience in Minnesota as an LPCC.
Jennifer supports people facing addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and trauma. She also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy issues, grief, eating struggles, and parenting stress.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first and then helps people set small, practical goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify what matters most and to strengthen a client’s reasons for change.
Jennifer works with people dealing with caregiver strain, co-occurring conditions, codependency, communication problems, and substance use concerns. She is also familiar with gender dysphoria, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, seasonal mood changes, and smoking or vaping cessation. Her style is straightforward and supportive.
Sessions focus on what is useful now - skills to manage symptoms, steps to handle triggers, and ways to rebuild self-esteem. People can expect a practical partnership aimed at steady progress and clearer next steps.
How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. The therapist offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space and helps clients set goals that feel right for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood issues. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and boosts readiness to act on goals related to addiction, health behaviors, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to try methods that match their needs and values. Together they adjust techniques and goals over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives in several ways. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the process. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, quick skills practice, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family tasks, or travel while staying focused on the goals discussed in sessions.
