About Jennifer

Jennifer Malott is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Indiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She has worked across several settings and with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and serious mental health challenges. Her background also includes vocational counseling and practical experience helping people manage work-related stress and life responsibilities.

She keeps a relaxed, straightforward style in sessions. Conversation is informal but focused on clear goals. Jennifer uses practical problem-solving and step-by-step planning so people can make changes between meetings.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including anger, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting and career concerns. She also notes experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, codependency and caregiver stress. When needed she addresses eating and food-related issues and complex mood conditions.

In the room she leans on widely used approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods shape practical exercises and skills practice rather than abstract theory.

Clients can expect a collaborative process. Jennifer helps set goals, breaks them into manageable steps, and checks progress each session. The focus is on usable skills for handling frustrating moments, reducing repeated outbursts, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Her vocational counseling experience often shows up as attention to work and career stress. That practical orientation can help people who want tools to manage anger at home or at work while keeping daily responsibilities on track.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people act on values even when anger or stress shows up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills useful when anger leads to impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques in session and adjusting based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins during a workday. Online work can also support practicing skills in real situations between meetings, which aligns with her goal-focused, practical style.
