About Mallory
Mallory Gakpo is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, grief, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, issues related to LGBT identity, family concerns, and ADHD. Mallory writes plainly and focuses on practical steps rather than medical jargon.
Mallory creates a calm space where clients can say what they’re feeling without judgment.
How Mallory works
She aims to listen first, then help people identify goals and small steps toward change. Sessions tend to focus on real-life strategies that can be tried between meetings. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience as an LCSW.
That time has included work with people whose lives have been affected by substance use and related struggles. Mallory draws on her own experience with trauma and recovery to empathize with clients who find change difficult. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration.
The therapist and client choose what to work on together, set realistic steps, and check progress regularly. Mallory encourages practical tools for coping with anxiety, handling grief, and managing urges related to addictions. People often come to her when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
She supports steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. Mallory aims to be a steady presence while clients learn new ways of responding to stress and relationships.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on teaching practical skills to manage emotions and behavior. One common approach emphasizes identifying thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and testing them with real-world experiments; it helps people reduce worry and increase activities that feel meaningful. A second approach concentrates on coping with cravings and patterns tied to addictions, breaking problems into manageable steps and building routines that support recovery. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mallory will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change. Online therapy makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls let people see each other for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping plans, or when scheduling prevents longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can continue through life’s changes.Start online instead of waiting
