About Jennifer
Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, addictions, and anger. Jennifer also helps people coping with relationship and family stress, grief, and changes in mood or behavior.
She frames therapy around the idea that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract theory. Jennifer listens for strengths clients already use and builds on those skills to manage intense feelings and day-to-day stress.
Her approach often blends client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That mix supports people who want to change specific habits, rethink unhelpful thoughts, or find motivation to try something different. She uses straightforward techniques to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and track small wins.
Jennifer has worked with issues that commonly overlap, such as mood disorders combined with substance use or caregiving stress. She pays attention to co-occurring problems and helps people prioritize what to tackle first. Sessions aim to reduce the immediate pressure of strong feelings and create practical ways to respond differently.
People who come to her for anger issues typically look to lower reactivity, improve communication, and set clearer boundaries. Jennifer supports that by teaching concrete skills, practicing responses in session, and encouraging gradual changes that fit daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters to each person. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and encouraging the client to lead the topics that matter most. It helps when someone needs to sort out feelings, values, or what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and tries small behavior experiments to see what shifts. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by clarifying goals and building internal reasons to act.
She works collaboratively to find the best fit of methods for each client. That means discussing goals, trying a technique, and adjusting based on what helps. The client and therapist decide together which approach to use and how to pace progress.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so the work can continue between sessions.
