About Jennifer
Jennifer Malott is a licensed clinical social worker with twelve years of clinical experience. She combines practical skills from earlier vocational counseling with hands-on therapy work. Jennifer focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and struggles around work and family responsibilities.
She keeps sessions relaxed and straightforward so people feel comfortable talking. At the same time she stays goal oriented and focuses on clear next steps. Conversations aim to identify small, doable changes that fit each person’s life and values.
Background and approach
Jennifer uses approaches that emphasize awareness, values, and skill building. She often blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive techniques and mindfulness practices. This mix helps with mood problems, difficult emotions, addictive patterns, and attention or impulsivity concerns.
Her background in vocational counseling informs work around career stress, job transitions, and balancing work with caregiving. She also addresses family conflict, parenting strain, grief, and identity issues for LGBT people. Additional focuses include eating and attachment-related concerns.
Sessions are offered from Indiana and conducted in English. Jennifer supports people who want a practical, steady guide for sorting emotions, improving daily coping, and making forward progress. She works collaboratively to set goals and track small wins over time.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to choose actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her style, which means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and shaping goals around what matters to the individual.She often combines these with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for mood and anxiety management. Together these approaches aim to create workable routines, reduce distressing symptoms, and improve decision making in day-to-day life. Choosing which methods to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss options and adapt based on the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well when face-to-face conversation matters, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while maintaining a steady path toward agreed goals.
