About Mallory
Mallory Gakpo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, substance use concerns, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate for people who want practical change.
Mallory focuses on making sessions a place where clients can speak honestly. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere so thoughts and feelings can be named and looked at.
Background and approach
She draws on seven years of professional experience to guide conversations toward workable next steps. She understands how painful past trauma and personal struggles can be because she has lived through similar challenges. That experience shapes how she listens and how she offers support rather than judgment.
Mallory prioritizes helping people feel understood while they consider change. Sessions typically look like problem-focused conversations. Clients set goals and Mallory helps break those goals into small, doable tasks.
She also helps people notice patterns that make life harder and then practices new ways of coping. Mallory invites people to take gradual steps toward a better day-to-day life. She offers encouragement and practical tools, and she checks in on progress as goals shift.
To start, she asks a few questions to learn what matters most and then builds a plan together.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Evidence-based methods often used in this practice include brief, goal-focused problem solving and coping skills work. Problem solving helps identify specific obstacles and then breaks them into small steps, which can help with stress, daily overwhelm, and managing ADHD related tasks.Another common approach teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and cravings. That work focuses on skills you can try between sessions, like grounding techniques, planning routines, and managing urges when they arise.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will collaborate with each person to understand needs, test methods, and adjust plans over time. Together they decide which tools feel helpful and which need changing so progress fits the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people share thoughts in writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid work, family, or busy days and to practice skills between sessions.
