Hi, I’m Mallory Skelton, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 9 years of experience supporting adults in residential, outpatient, and private practice settings. I help people navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, identity shifts, trauma, and burnout. I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up fully—without pressure to perform or have it all figured out. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in connection, curiosity, and self-compassion.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, current challenges, and therapy goals. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. We’ll move at your pace as we build a foundation of trust and collaboration.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often say they feel deeply seen and supported in our work together. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a nonjudgmental presence, helping clients explore parts of themselves they’ve had to hide or silence. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from DBT and CBT. I support clients in building insight, developing practical tools, and creating meaningful, authentic change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who have spent much of their lives pushing through anxiety, stress, or self-doubt while taking care of others. Many feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of who they are beyond their roles. I have a special focus on adult women who seem high-functioning but are internally struggling with burnout, people-pleasing, identity confusion, or the lingering effects of past experiences. My ideal clients are ready to explore their inner world, reconnect with themselves, and create meaningful change with support, curiosity, and compassion.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, challenge negative thinking, and build practical tools to support emotional well-being and lasting change.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I use DBT to help clients manage intense or overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and stay grounded in the present. I often incorporate skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and boundary-setting to support real-life change.
