About Jennifer
Jennifer Malott is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 12 years of clinical experience to family and parenting concerns. She combines a calm, down-to-earth manner with a focus on clear goals. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and related struggles.
Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to concrete next steps. Her background includes work that addressed employment and vocational concerns, which informs how she supports people juggling work and family responsibilities.
Background and approach
That vocational experience helps when therapy touches on career stress or job-related transitions. Her training as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) guides clinical decision making and care. Therapy with her tends to be relaxed in tone but structured in purpose.
She aims to make people feel comfortable enough to talk honestly while keeping treatment focused on measurable change. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance-based methods, among others. Practical skills and problem-solving get woven into conversations about values and goals.
She also works with issues linked to family dynamics such as adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, attachment and caregiver stress. Eating-related problems, trauma and dissociation are within her scope as well. Jennifer emphasizes a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide each step.
Sessions are offered in English and provided online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Jennifer’s style fits people who want a friendly therapist who keeps things straightforward and action oriented.
Therapy approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small value-based steps, which can help with worry, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a warm, nonjudgmental conversation so people feel heard while they make changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions let clients access these approaches from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Tools and skills discussed in sessions can be practiced between meetings and reviewed in follow-up messages or brief check-ins when needed.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
