About Jennifer
Jennifer Malott is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Indiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar conditions, addiction, and parenting-related strain, along with concerns tied to family problems, trauma, grief, and LGBT issues.
Her background includes earlier work as a vocational counselor, which informs how she addresses employment and career stress. That experience shapes practical support for work-related problems and balancing job demands with home life. She also brings experience helping people with eating and food-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she keeps a relaxed tone while staying goal focused. Conversations aim to identify small, achievable steps and clearer options. She uses practical tools from approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to address symptoms and everyday challenges.
People meet to talk through current problems, set concrete goals, and practice skills that fit daily routines. She often combines talk with exercises that help manage mood, reduce anxiety, and improve coping around parenting and family stress.
Jennifer supports those dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, attachment concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress. Her work also covers grief, forgiveness, dissociation, and other complex presentations where steady, skills-based support is helpful.
How sessions work
Approaches used and what to expect online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving around work and family demands. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that calm the body and improve moment-to-moment coping for stress and emotion regulation.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, situation, and preferences. Expect to try techniques and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
