About Yeni
Yeni Then-Yaegel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 28 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, and self-esteem problems.
She helps people who feel stuck after changes at work, in relationships, or with health. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, isolation, midlife questions, and issues tied to family of origin. Life purpose is one of the topics she addresses with clients who are unsure what comes next.
Her practice draws on practical methods that focus on clear steps and problem solving. Yeni uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small changes that move someone toward their goals.
Sessions can include talking through relationship patterns, parenting strategies, and ways to reduce anxious thinking. She has experience with autism, Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, obsessive-compulsive patterns, eating and food-related concerns, and caregiver stress. Communication problems and blended family issues are also common topics she addresses.
Yeni works in both English and Spanish. People can expect direct, everyday language in sessions and a focus on practical next steps rather than abstract theory. To begin, she asks people to describe what feels most pressing and then outlines options to try in the coming weeks.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Online Sessions
Yeni commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try small experiments to reduce anxious or unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying clear goals and practical steps that build on a person's existing strengths and resources.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Yeni will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and decide collaboratively which methods to try first. That decision can change as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find that meeting remotely helps keep continuity after a life change, supports regular check-ins, and makes brief follow-ups simpler without needing extra travel.
