   About Jennifer

   Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who brings six years of experience to her work. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and looks for strengths clients can use to move through hard times. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping people make changes that matter to them.

   She often helps people handle addictions, mood challenges such as bipolar disorder and depression, and anxiety and stress. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem. Additional areas she addresses include parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation.

   In session she uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns and try new approaches, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find the motivation to change. Conversations focus on practical steps and on what a person already does well, rather than on labels.

   Jennifer understands change can feel risky and slow. She offers encouragement and clear, achievable goals so clients can test new ways of coping. She has weekend availability for sessions most weeks, which can help people fit therapy into busy lives.

   To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. This helps make sure the first session can address immediate concerns and set a simple plan forward.

2. How her approaches work in online therapy

   Jennifer uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and drawing out a person's goals rather than pushing solutions. Client-Centered Therapy is about being heard and respected; sessions emphasize empathy and understanding so people can talk through what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete steps to try different responses.
   
   Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are involved in deciding what feels most helpful as they move forward.
   
   The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, including sessions that match weekend availability. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments around work or caregiving commitments. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to practice new skills, track progress, and keep momentum between meetings.
