Jennifer Malott , LCSW

Jennifer Malott brings 20 years of experience in the helping professions, including 12 years providing clinical and therapeutic services to a wide range of people facing diverse challenges. She has worked extensively with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders, and she combines that clinical background with prior experience as a vocational counselor to support clients who are navigating employment-related stress and workplace challenges.

Her practice emphasizes a relaxed, approachable atmosphere designed to help people feel comfortable opening up while maintaining a clear focus on goals and practical steps forward. She uses a client-centered framework that centers each person’s goals and preferences, and she works collaboratively to develop solutions and strategies that fit a person’s life and responsibilities. Jennifer holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential indicating advanced training in clinical social work and therapeutic practice.

Throughout her work she addresses a broad range of concerns, including stress, grief, addictions, family and parenting issues, trauma, eating and self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach blends empathy with action-oriented planning so clients can progress toward more manageable day-to-day functioning and fuller engagement with their responsibilities and relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build committed actions that support meaningful living. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients’ perspectives guide the pace and focus of work. This approach supports self-exploration, emotional processing, and rebuilding confidence in relationships and daily roles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, providing practical tools for managing mood, anxiety, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for clients with busy schedules or caregiving and work responsibilities. These modalities make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations while maintaining consistent, goal-oriented treatment.
