About Jennifer
Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, ADHD, and family concerns including family of origin issues. Sessions address practical daily struggles and recurring patterns that come from upbringing and relationships.
She draws on client-centered methods to listen and identify what already helps. Jennifer also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
In early sessions she focuses on building rapport and naming personal strengths that support change. Conversations tend to look at how old family roles and expectations still shape current choices and reactions. She helps people notice those patterns and test new ways of responding.
Her background blends long-term social work experience with a range of therapeutic approaches. That mix can suit people managing mood changes, grief, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care concerns, or adjustment after separation and loss. Jennifer also brings experience with attachment-related issues and blended family stresses.
People who choose her usually want straightforward, skills-based work combined with attention to personal history. She offers practical tools for sleep, anger, communication, and coping with life changes while also addressing deeper relational patterns.
