About Jennifer

Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes building rapport quickly and identifying each person’s strengths and resilience as the foundation for change. Her approach blends client-centered care with practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies, supplemented by mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques.

This mix of strategies supports symptom management while also exploring relational and emotional patterns that affect daily functioning. Jennifer’s manner is warm and genuine, and she draws on trauma-informed and strengths-based perspectives to tailor work to each client’s priorities.

Jennifer has experience across many related focus areas including adoption and foster care, attachment and family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, aging concerns, autism spectrum considerations, and challenges like sleep, career, and body image. She offers therapy in English to people located in Indiana, and works through a subscription model that lets clients schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore goals and values; it is useful for people who want collaborative guidance and support in building self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with daily stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills training that are especially helpful when intense emotions or relationship patterns interfere with functioning.

Determining which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, experiment with strategies, and adjust methods over time so that the work aligns with goals and preferences rather than sticking rigidly to a single modality.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by letting clients connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from a licensed professional in Indiana without always needing in-person visits.
