Yeni Then-Yaegel, LCSW

Yeni Then-Yaegel is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 28 years of professional experience. She works with clients across the lifespan, from toddlers to seniors, and brings long-term clinical knowledge to issues such as depression, stress and anxiety, social and separation anxiety, behavioral challenges, ADHD, ARFID, and autism. She also addresses relationship and family conflicts, parenting concerns, and a range of eating and food-related issues.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Yeni has specialized training to provide psychotherapy and to support practical strategies for daily life. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients are invited to take the steps toward greater fulfillment and wellbeing. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respect, and strengthening the skills people need to manage stress, improve relationships, and build self-esteem.

Yeni offers care in both English and Spanish and focuses on empowering individuals and families to move forward. She encourages those who are ready for change and stands alongside them to support growth, coping, and clearer communication within families and relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Yeni Then-Yaegel

Yeni Then-Yaegel incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy into her work. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and building on existing strengths to create forward movement in relationships, parenting, and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Yeni works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most useful, adjust strategies over time, and focus on measurable progress rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care, fit sessions into daily life, and maintain momentum between appointments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
