About Mallory
Mallory Gakpo is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Indiana. She focuses on stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and ADHD. Mallory aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.
Mallory keeps sessions conversational and straightforward. She encourages clients to speak openly about what feels hard and listens without judgment.
Background and approach
Together, she and the client identify small, practical steps to reduce distress and build coping skills. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She tailors tools and pacing to match a person’s needs and comfort level.
The work often includes learning new ways to handle stress, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing skills between sessions. Mallory talks from lived experience as well as clinical training. She says that personal struggles have shaped her compassion and understanding.
That perspective informs a calm, patient style that supports steady progress. Therapy with Mallory typically moves at a person’s own pace. She focuses on clear goals and practical strategies that fit everyday life.
The intent is to help people feel more in control and more able to make changes that matter to them.
Evidence-based approaches offered online
Many clients benefit from practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on change and coping. Cognitive approaches help people spot and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and depression, and replace them with more balanced ways of seeing problems. Behavioral strategies focus on building routines and small actions that reduce urges and improve mood, which can be especially useful when coping with addictions and low motivation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there, she tailors techniques and adjusts pace so the work fits the person’s life and comfort level.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from home. They also allow follow-up and skill practice between live conversations so progress can continue outside of sessions.
