About Mallory

Mallory Gakpo is a licensed clinical social worker based in Indiana who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With seven years of professional experience holding the LCSW credential, she draws on her personal journey through trauma and mental health challenges to relate to clients and foster a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Mallory emphasizes collaborative work that helps clients identify realistic goals and practical coping strategies.

She seeks to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly and where people feel empowered to pursue change at their own pace. Her practice aims to guide clients through difficult transitions and complex emotions while validating the courage it takes to ask for support.

Clients can expect an empathetic partner who values honesty and steady encouragement. Mallory invites individuals who are ready to explore new pathways toward greater well-being to take a first step and begin a process of gradual, sustainable change.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Many clients benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques that teach concrete skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build healthier daily routines. Motivational strategies help people who are coping with addictions or ambivalence about change by exploring values, boosting readiness, and creating small achievable steps toward recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mallory collaborates with clients to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adapt interventions so the work feels meaningful and practical rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or manage treatment from home. These formats offer flexibility in pacing and contact style, letting clients choose more real-time conversations or ongoing messaging to reinforce skills between sessions.
