Yeni Then-Yaegel

Yeni Then-Yaegel is a New Jersey LCSW with 28 years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressure, or questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

She works in straightforward terms and focuses on practical steps. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, manage anxiety, and address family and communication problems. She also supports those coping with abandonment, isolation, eating and food-related issues, and challenges linked to autism spectrum conditions.

Yeni draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create clear, doable objectives. That often means identifying a small change to try between sessions and checking what works. Many clients meet to talk through immediate stressors, develop coping tools, and adjust patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Her background includes decades of work across age ranges and varied concerns, including obsessive and compulsive behaviors, avoidant personality features, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and intellectual disability. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort to find steps that fit a person’s life.

New clients are shown a short matching questionnaire and then can schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Online Sessions

Yeni commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT is about spotting patterns of thought that increase anxiety or low mood and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for stress, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and managing strong emotional reactions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what is already working; it helps people make measurable changes quickly and focus on goals rather than only the problem.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Yeni will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. The aim is to find concrete actions and coping strategies that fit everyday life rather than promise any particular outcome.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit meetings into a workday break, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to try exercises together in the moment and to follow up on agreed steps between sessions.
