About Mallory
Mallory Dee Armstrong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with six years of experience. She works with adults on addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Armstrong frames her work around trauma-informed care with a focus on reducing repetitive, harmful patterns. She prioritizes practical steps people can use between sessions. Expect conversations that identify triggers, explore attachment and communication patterns, and outline small behavior changes to try at home.
Her practice also addresses blended family issues, parenting challenges, and problems that often accompany substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. She helps people navigate divorce and separation, domestic violence histories, and feelings of guilt, shame, or codependency. She pays attention to dissociation and impulsivity when these issues come up.
Because addiction and trauma often interact, Armstrong looks at both together rather than in isolation. She will talk about coping strategies for cravings, relapse prevention ideas, and ways to rebuild trust in relationships after harm.

How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Mallory uses trauma-informed methods and evidence-based techniques to address addiction, relationship harm, and parenting strain. Trauma-informed care involves recognizing how past harm shapes current reactions and working slowly to reduce reactivity. This approach helps when past abuse or domestic violence affects everyday family interactions.She also draws on practical behavior-focused techniques to change repetitive patterns. Those methods break down problems into small steps, create experiments to try between sessions, and track what helps. For addiction-related concerns, this can include relapse prevention planning and coping strategies for cravings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they review what’s working and adjust the approach over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often tailor pacing and session length to match everyday schedules rather than promising a particular format.
