About Jennifer
Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, or life changes. She focuses on clear, practical steps and on building strengths people can use between sessions.
Her approach starts by getting to know each person and identifying what already works for them. She uses client-centered methods and mindfulness to build awareness and reduce stress.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to teach coping skills and manage difficult emotions. Jennifer often helps clients facing relationship strain, sleep problems, addictive behaviors, and career stress. She pays attention to trauma, attachment, and family of origin dynamics when they matter to the goals in therapy.
She aims to make sessions feel genuine, warm, and respectful. In sessions she balances short-term skill-building with attention to deeper patterns that affect daily life. That can mean practical behavior changes one week and reflection on emotional patterns the next.
She emphasizes resilience and small, sustainable steps toward change. Jennifer practices in Indiana and offers several ways to connect. She works with people who want a collaborative, strengths-based approach and who are ready to set concrete goals and try things between sessions.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Jennifer uses client-centered therapy to start by listening and building a collaborative relationship. This approach focuses on what matters to the person and highlights their strengths to guide progress.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and some ADHD-related challenges because it offers clear techniques to practice between sessions.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Jennifer will work with each person to try methods, track what helps, and adjust as goals evolve. That collaborative process makes it easier to match skills and strategies to daily life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video enables face-to-face conversation, phone can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets someone share updates or questions in between meetings. These options increase flexibility for work, caregiving, or travel and let people choose a format that fits how they prefer to engage.
