Jennifer Linarello, LCSW

Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over two decades of counseling experience. She helps people facing midlife transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, and the day-to-day stresses that feel hard to manage. Her manner is warm and genuine, and she focuses first on building trust and finding what already works in a person's life.

Jennifer centers work on strengths and practical steps. She listens for patterns that get in the way and helps people name realistic goals. Sessions often include mindfulness and attention to the mind-body connection to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and focus.

She draws on a mix of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful thinking, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and client-centered methods that put the person's priorities first. These tools are used in simple, everyday language rather than clinical terms.

Jennifer has experience addressing relationship struggles, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with life changes such as divorce, aging concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and career transitions.

With 23 years of practice in Indiana, Jennifer combines practical techniques and steady support. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and build routines that fit their life. Her aim is to help people move toward clearer decisions and more reliable daily functioning.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers short skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity through life changes. It also allows sessions to focus on skills practice, brief check-ins, and mindfulness exercises that translate into daily routines.
