About Jennifer
Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She brings six years of clinical experience and focuses on making therapy practical and easy to understand for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, addiction, or life transitions. Jennifer believes clients know their own stories best.
Sessions start by listening and noticing strengths that can be used to make change. She aims to create a calm space where goals are clear and steps feel doable.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with mood disorders, substance use concerns, trauma, grief, identity questions, and relationship stress. She also supports people coping with caregiver strain, codependency, seasonal mood shifts, and questions around sexual or gender identity. Jennifer uses straightforward methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
That means conversations that focus on what matters to the client, practical tools to shift thinking and behavior, and help finding motivation to try new approaches. Many clients find her approach helpful when they need concrete strategies for anxiety, help managing depressive episodes, or support to quit smoking or reduce substance use.
She works with each person to set achievable steps and track progress along the way.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress through practical exercises and homework.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore a person’s reasons for change and strengthen their own motivation. It can be useful when people feel stuck or unsure about making a change, such as reducing substance use or improving health routines.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That means checking in and adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, flexible scheduling, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
