About Jennifer
Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over two decades of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward so clients can feel heard and begin practical steps toward their goals.
Jennifer centers sessions on strengths and resilience. She starts by building rapport and identifying what is already working in a person's life. That foundation guides realistic, step-by-step changes that fit everyday life.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Indiana and a wide range of therapeutic methods. Jennifer uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's needs. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for thinking and behavior changes.
Mindfulness and mind-body awareness are part of her work when helpful. These techniques can support emotional regulation, sleep, and stress management. Jennifer adapts methods to match each person's pace and goals.
People come to her for many concerns, including parenting strain, caregiving stress, addiction, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She aims to make sessions practical and focused so clients leave with clear next steps.
To begin, Jennifer asks people to reflect on what they want to change and what strengths they already have. She then collaborates with them to set concrete goals and track small gains over time.
How these approaches shape online therapy
Jennifer often uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's goals and experience. This approach means the conversation follows the client's priorities and supports their own problem-solving. It can be helpful for people struggling with life transitions, grief, or relationship concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers clear exercises and small homework tasks that fit into daily routines, useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed, teaching practical tools for managing intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so the plan stays practical and achievable.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Ask about the formats offered so you can pick what fits your schedule and comfort. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness and CBT exercises between meetings to support steady progress.
