Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel, LPCC

Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a Minnesota licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on the person in front of her, believing each client knows their story best and already has strengths to build on. Jennifer aims to make the first steps toward change feel possible and supported.

She focuses on practical ways to manage depression, bipolar mood shifts, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Jennifer also helps people facing relationship strain, family problems, grief, and eating or intimacy-related concerns. Caregiver issues and compassion fatigue are among her additional focus areas.

Her style leans on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and understanding the client’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen willingness to make changes.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Jennifer works to make small, manageable changes feel achievable. She encourages people to use their strengths while learning new coping skills.

Weekend times are often available for appointments. Prospective clients who need help with stress, ADHD, gender identity questions, polyamory or substance use concerns can expect straightforward conversation and practical steps to try.

How Jennifer’s methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client’s goals. Online or remote sessions still focus on understanding a person’s story and using their strengths to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that make problems worse and tests new behaviors. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and issues like smoking cessation when paired with concrete homework and practice.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term approach that helps people build their own reasons for change. It often supports work on addictions, co-morbidity, and making lasting behavioral shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist asks about goals, priorities, and daily life before choosing strategies. Sessions are collaborative and adapted to what each person needs and prefers.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into a busy schedule, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend around caregiving duties, weekend commitments, or work hours without promising a specific format.
