About Mallory

Mallory Gakpo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and depression. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and major life changes. Mallory writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming.

She creates an open space where clients can speak without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and real conversations.

Background and approach

Mallory encourages small changes that add up over time rather than promising quick fixes. Her own history with trauma and mental health informs how she listens. That lived experience helps her relate to feelings of fear, shame, and uncertainty.

She leans on that perspective to offer steady, grounded support rather than platitudes. Over seven years of practice have included lots of work with substance use and recovery. That background gives her familiarity with the ups and downs of change and relapse.

She uses that experience to normalize setbacks and help clients plan forward. Mallory favors collaborative work. Clients set goals and she helps break them into doable steps.

Her style is direct but warm, and she aims to leave people with clear tools to use between sessions.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Mallory lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work and practical access

Two evidence-based approaches commonly used in this practice are behavioral strategies and trauma-informed support. Behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with small, workable actions that reduce distress and build new routines. Trauma-informed support centers on pacing, choice, and safety while helping people process painful experiences and manage triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, past efforts, and current needs, and together you will try methods that fit your pace and preferences. Adjustments are made as you go so the work matches real life and feels useful.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping tools, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options let people access consistent support without travel and make it simpler to keep therapy part of a busy life.
