About Yeni
Yeni Then-Yaegel is a bilingual therapist who speaks English and Spanish. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 28 years of professional experience. Yeni focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family matters, parenting, and self-esteem.
She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to do next. Sessions aim to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to practice small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Yeni encourages direct, practical steps alongside thoughtful conversation. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she helps clients notice patterns of thought and behavior, and also sets concrete, short-term goals to build momentum.
The work is collaborative and oriented toward clear, measurable progress. Yeni has a long history of helping people navigate a wide range of concerns. These include abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, communication problems, eating and food-related struggles, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
Practical supports often include coping strategies for anxiety, techniques to reduce compulsive behaviors, and communication skills for family and parenting challenges. Yeni aims to empower people to try new approaches between sessions and to notice real, usable change in daily life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active. Sessions focus on practical exercises and simple skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce worry over time. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals; it is useful when someone wants quick, concrete changes and clearer next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Yeni collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can make it easier to share brief updates, practice skills between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options help people access consistent support without changing their daily routines.
