About Jennifer
Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward presence and focuses on practical steps people can take right away. Jennifer works from Indiana and speaks English.
With 23 years of experience, she draws on approaches that center the person and build useful skills. Sessions often begin by identifying strengths and reliable routines.
Background and approach
From there she helps people set short-term goals and try new ways of coping that fit their daily life. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, aging and caregiver stress, attachment or communication problems, divorce and separation, and body image or self-esteem struggles. Therapy sessions may include talking through problems, learning emotion regulation tools, practicing mindfulness, and trying behavior changes between appointments.
Jennifer uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused ways of working. The focus is on what helps someone feel steadier and more able to manage daily demands. Her approach is practical and paced to the person.
She helps clients notice what already works, build new skills, and adjust plans as needed. People who prefer a warm, steady guide who values collaboration may find her style helpful.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own point of view and building a trusting relationship so change can happen more naturally. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behavior changes between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These tools are often helpful for overwhelming emotions, anger, or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Plans are adjusted based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching. These options give flexibility to continue progress even when schedules change.
