Mallory Langkrahr, LCSW

Mallory Langkrahr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and changes after illness or injury. She aims to make conversations clear and direct so people can take small steps forward. Mallory uses everyday language and practical tools during sessions to help clients move toward their goals.

She has three years of clinical experience working in a variety of settings. That work has included supporting people with co-occurring mental health and substance use issues, providing short-term therapy and case management in hospice and home health, and working with veterans in a residential program. These roles shaped her focus on practical problem solving and respect for each person’s strengths.

Mallory draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s lead and build on what already works for them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, with real-life tasks to try between meetings.

She also supports concerns related to trauma and abuse, relationship and family stress, ADHD, aging and caregiver strain, and serious illness or end-of-life issues. Mallory believes people know their lives best, and she offers guidance, feedback, and gentle challenges to help them act on what matters.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following a person’s lead and supporting their strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses small experiments and tasks to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore ambivalence and find their own reasons to change, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what helps. People often mix approaches so sessions match current needs and priorities.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone continue regular appointments during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, motivational conversations, and strength-based planning to remote sessions, and your therapist will help decide what works best for your situation.
