About Mallory

Mallory Dee Armstrong is a clinical social worker who helps people facing addictions, trauma, and relationship struggles. She uses a trauma-informed, empowerment-focused approach to help people change difficult patterns and build healthier routines. Mallory brings six years of clinical practice in Colorado to her work and speaks English. Her style centers on partnering with each person to notice repeated behaviors and learn different ways to respond. Sessions focus on practical steps and small shifts that add up over time. She pays attention to how past wounds affect current choices, while supporting people to reclaim more agency in daily life. Mallory often works with people dealing with body image, codependency, and co-occurring substance concerns. She also supports those navigating family problems, separation, communication breakdowns, and parenting strains. People who struggle with shame, guilt, dissociation, or impulsivity may find her approach useful. Her work emphasizes empowerment for queer and BIPOC communities, and she frames healing as a process of establishing new cycles. She blends trauma-aware practices with tools that address addictive behavior and relationship patterns. To begin, she asks about current challenges and goals. From there she helps craft concrete steps clients can try between sessions. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to safety and pacing that fits each person.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Mallory describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques within a trauma-informed, empowerment framework. In practice this often means helping people notice patterns, track triggers, and try new coping steps between sessions. That approach is helpful for addictions, trauma recovery, and relationship patterns because it focuses on behavior change and emotional regulation. Even without a long list of named modalities, a trauma-aware method typically includes grounding and pacing to reduce overwhelm, and structured steps to interrupt unhelpful cycles. Addiction-focused work tends to emphasize relapse prevention skills, craving management, and building supports that fit daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Mallory collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts pacing and tools over time so clients can test what helps and drop what doesn't. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during shorter breaks. It also lets people try different formats and rhythms of care while working toward steady, practical change.
