About Jennifer
Jennifer Malott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She has worked in helping roles for a longer period and has focused much of her recent practice on depression, anxiety, bipolar concerns, and people facing severe mental health challenges. Jennifer also draws on past work as a vocational counselor when employment and work stress come up.
Her style is relaxed but goal-focused. She uses a client-centered approach that lets people talk through what matters to them while still setting clear steps to try. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help with day-to-day symptoms and patterns.
Jennifer helps people address a wide range of concerns. These include stress, grief, addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, and issues that arise in blended family situations. She also lists work with LGBT concerns, anger, self-esteem, and caregiver stress among her focus areas.
Sessions tend to mix practical problem solving with skills practice. That can mean identifying small behavioral changes, learning coping skills from dialectical behavior therapy, or using acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. She also brings in motivational interviewing when people are weighing change related to substance use or habits.
People who prefer a straightforward conversational style may find this approach useful. Jennifer aims to help each person set clear goals and take manageable steps toward them. To begin, follow the site's process to view her online therapy options and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with ongoing stress, anxiety, and decisions that come up in blended family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful when anger, strong emotions, or relationship friction are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That collaborative process guides whether more ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness practice are emphasized.
