About Jennifer

Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota who brings a practical, strengths-based approach to therapy.

Background and approach

She centers work on collaborative problem solving that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story, using evidence-informed methods to address challenges such as addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Her perspective emphasizes clients' existing resources and their capacity to move toward more fulfilling, balanced lives.

With six years of clinical experience, Jennifer supports people facing a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, ADHD, and substance use matters. She also addresses less commonly named areas such as polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, gender dysphoria, seasonal mood shifts, caregiver burnout, and smoking or vaping cessation.

She offers weekend appointment options and aims to empower clients through encouragement, practical skills, and motivational support.

Practical approaches for online change and growth

Jennifer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing into online care to help clients set concrete goals and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is focused on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to mood and anxiety difficulties, which can be useful for issues like depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes exploring personal motivation and resolving ambivalence, making it a helpful adjunct for concerns such as addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts techniques over time so therapeutic work stays relevant and effective. She emphasizes client strengths and practical steps, helping people try strategies and reflect on what works for them.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to fit sessions into busy or irregular schedules. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue work consistently, with options to match communication style and availability.
