About Mallory

Mallory Langkrahr greets people with a calm, straightforward approach. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri and uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, grief, and life changes. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to make conversations feel useful from the first visit.

She has three years of clinical experience working across settings. That experience includes short-term therapy and case management in hospice and home health, plus work in residential care settings.

Background and approach

Those roles shaped her ability to support people facing complex, overlapping challenges such as addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. Mallory draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build on each person’s strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns that keep problems stuck and Motivational Interviewing to help people find their reasons for change.

Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, body image, and end-of-life topics. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and several other concerns listed in her profile.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Mallory believes people are the experts in their own lives and aims to engage, challenge, and support them as they work toward clearer goals.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses first on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. In practice this means Mallory will ask about what matters most to you and shape sessions around your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple tools to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to substance use. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to make changes; it is useful when someone feels unsure or ambivalent about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mallory collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single fixed plan. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy with Mallory is offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to continue work between meetings with short messages or chats. The focus is on practical help that fits into daily routines rather than long or complicated protocols.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
