About Yeni
Yeni Then-Yaegel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 28 years of experience. She provides therapy in English and Spanish and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family issues, parenting, and self-esteem.
Yeni usually helps people who are noticing patterns from their family of origin or who are struggling with communication and connection. She also works with abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and problems like obsessions or compulsions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she helps people look at unhelpful thinking, break large problems into smaller steps, and try practical strategies that can be tested between meetings. The tone in her work is direct and focused on clear goals.
Sessions often include talking through recent situations, identifying patterns that come from childhood or family expectations, and planning small changes to behavior or communication. She guides concrete practice rather than long abstract discussions.
Yeni's bilingual ability means Spanish speakers can work in their preferred language. Her long experience covers a wide age range, and she adapts explanations so they are easy to follow. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Yeni uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves identifying specific thoughts that lead to anxiety or low mood, testing them, and practicing new responses between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and on what a person wants to be different soon; it is useful for tackling relationship patterns or family of origin problems.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Yeni will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and preferences. She often combines CBT techniques with short-term solution-focused steps so clients can see practical change and refine goals as they go.
