About Jennifer

Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 23 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions. Jennifer also addresses relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, sleep problems, and career stress.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods to focus on feelings and patterns that keep people stuck. Jennifer also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques into sessions. This mix helps people notice difficult emotions, name them, and try different responses.

Sessions begin with building rapport and identifying strengths and practical skills a person already has. Jennifer pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact, and she teaches concrete strategies for managing overwhelm, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. Mindfulness and mind-body awareness exercises are used to calm stress and improve focus.

She has additional experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, aging and caregiver stress, body image, blended family dynamics, and coping with disasters. She also works with people navigating divorce, separation, family-of-origin problems, and commitment or emptiness struggles.

Jennifer practices in Indiana and offers sessions in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm the current session options before booking and to follow the site's process to schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Jennifer uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice the patterns in their feelings and interactions. EFT focuses on emotional moments and how they shape responses, which can be useful for relationship patterns and attachment-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following what the client brings; it supports building rapport and identifying strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing impulses by teaching skills and small experiments between sessions. These approaches are used together so practical skills and emotional understanding support each other. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That makes session plans flexible and focused on what a person wants to change. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or do shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping therapy consistent alongside work, caregiving, or other obligations.
