About Yeni
Yeni Then-Yaegel is a bilingual LCSW practicing in New Jersey with 28 years of clinical experience. She works in both English and Spanish and supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, and issues affecting self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses a range of specific difficulties including abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, eating and food-related concerns, feelings of emptiness, family of origin dynamics, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, midlife crisis, life purpose questions, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
Yeni uses practical, goal-oriented methods that help clients identify unhelpful thinking and build workable strategies for daily life. Her approach aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and emotions can be explored and where clients can practice new skills.
She encourages small, courageous steps toward a more satisfying life and partners with individuals to strengthen coping, communication, and problem-solving. Clients find that combining structured techniques with a collaborative relationship supports steady progress toward clearer goals and improved functioning across relationships, family roles, and personal well-being.
Using CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Online Sessions
Yeni often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts and then practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy complements that work by concentrating on current strengths and small, achievable steps that move clients toward clear goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yeni partners with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote care. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing family, work, or other obligations, and they support regular practice of skills learned in sessions.
