About Jennifer
Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing mood challenges, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and stress-related problems. Jennifer emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and brings a practical, respectful approach to sessions.
Her style centers on listening first and building a plan together. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps her guide clients in spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change behavior. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox when people feel stuck or unsure about change. That approach is useful for addiction, smoking or vaping cessation, and any stage of readiness for change.
Jennifer also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, ADHD, eating concerns, and identity-related stress. She brings six years of experience in real-world settings to each conversation. Sessions are aimed at practical tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Jennifer offers weekend availability for many clients, which can help fit therapy into busy schedules. People who choose her can expect steady, respectful guidance and help shaping workable steps toward their goals. The focus is on what fits the person’s life, whether that means managing mood, improving communication, or addressing addictive behaviors.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist and client spend time identifying what matters most and shape goals around daily life and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors. In video or text formats CBT can be used to practice small experiments, track mood, and review what helped between sessions - which is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. The therapist asks open questions, reflects concerns, and supports small steps toward goals like reducing substance use or beginning a healthier routine.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and can adjust over time as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are helpful for guided conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports shorter, ongoing contacts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week.
