About Yeni
Yeni Then-Yaegel is a bilingual therapist who speaks English and Spanish. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. She uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions.
Yeni aims to make room for people to say what they are feeling without judgment. She encourages small, doable steps that lead to clearer thinking and less overwhelm.
How Yeni works
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to address thought patterns and to set short-term goals. These methods are used to tackle issues such as obsessive thoughts, compulsions, eating and food-related struggles, and feelings of emptiness. Yeni also addresses family of origin issues, blended family challenges, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
She works with people facing intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, and isolation or loneliness, tailoring interventions to each person's situation. Sessions may cover abandonment concerns, avoidant personality patterns, midlife questions, and searching for life purpose. The work combines skills practice with goal-focused conversations to help people find manageable ways forward.
People who prefer a bilingual therapist will find Spanish-language support available. Yeni practices in New Jersey and brings long experience to each session while focusing on practical steps clients can take between meetings.

Online support options
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Yeni uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In CBT clients learn simple techniques for reducing anxiety, managing obsessions and compulsions, and shifting eating or avoidance patterns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and to identify small steps that lead to progress. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, practical changes or help breaking a big problem into manageable parts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yeni will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor sessions accordingly. Together they decide whether to focus on thought work, short-term problem solving, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for focused check-ins, and messaging supports brief, ongoing contact between meetings. These options help make therapy easier to fit into busy lives while keeping the work focused and practical.
