About Jennifer
Jennifer Yahnke-Del Angel is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with six years of experience in Minnesota. She focuses on practical ways to help people manage mood disorders, addictions, anxiety, and stress. Jennifer aims to support people who want clearer coping skills and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Her approach starts with listening. She uses client-centered techniques to build on strengths and understand each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are offered to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice small changes that lead to different results.
How Jennifer works
Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people are weighing change or feeling stuck. That style helps clarify what matters most and find personally meaningful next steps. She frames change as a series of doable moves rather than sudden overhaul.
Jennifer has helped people with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, substance use and smoking cessation, grief, trauma-related stress, and issues tied to identity and relationships. Additional areas she addresses include caregiver stress, co-morbidity, codependency, communication problems, eating concerns, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are available on weekends most weeks to fit busy schedules.
She accepts clients from Minnesota and international clients and offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. The aim is steady, practical progress shaped around each person's goals.

How Jennifer blends approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's priorities, helping people name their goals and recognize strengths they can use to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns for mood, anxiety, or coping difficulties. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels ambivalent about change by clarifying personal reasons for shifting behavior and building small, achievable steps.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest a mix of techniques rather than one fixed method. Clients and therapist check in together and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy lives.
