Mallory Langkrahr, LCSW

Mallory Langkrahr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and works to create a calm space where clients can talk about what matters to them and set clear, practical goals.

With three years of experience, Mallory draws on methods that focus on thoughts, strengths, and motivation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered ideas to listen closely and follow each person's priorities. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Mallory has worked in rural Missouri settings, hospice and home health, and residential programs serving veterans. Those roles exposed her to co-occurring mental health and substance use issues and to short-term therapy and case management. That background shapes a flexible approach to different kinds of life stressors.

In sessions she tends to be direct but supportive. She will help break concerns into manageable steps and build skills you can use between meetings. Common topics she addresses include coping with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, substance use concerns, caregiving stress, and changes tied to aging and health challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Mallory encourages people to name their goals up front so therapy time focuses on what will make a real difference.

How Mallory's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and then teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel uncertain about change by exploring their goals and boosting motivation.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. Mallory will work with each person to pick and adjust methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Over time the plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let sessions feel closer to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be easier when video would be difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step planning possible between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to fit regular work on goals into a schedule and to try techniques in real time.
