About Jared

Jared Maloney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California and New Hampshire with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, and issues connected to family and parenting. Jared also addresses grief, intimacy-related problems, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

He favors approaches that help people notice and reshape unhelpful thoughts, while also attending to attachment patterns that affect close relationships. Jared uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person and draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change thought and behavior patterns. He also brings elements of emotionally-focused and existential work to conversations about meaning and connection.

In practical sessions he tends to mix talk-based techniques with experiential tools. Clients may use journaling, guided mindfulness, somatic exercises, role-play, or art to clarify feelings and practice new responses. These activities are introduced to support clear goals, not as a prescription.

Jared offers coaching-style work alongside therapy when clients want help setting and reaching goals. That can look like short-term solution-focused steps to build self-esteem and momentum, paired with deeper exploration of family of origin issues or attachment wounds when helpful.

He describes his role as someone who helps people develop tools they can use long term. If an adult is trying to cope with caregiving stress, addiction, trauma, or confusion about direction, Jared aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.

How sessions work

How Jared’s approaches translate to online work

Jared commonly blends attachment-focused and cognitive behavioral methods. Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns shape current relationship reactions and helps people notice and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and some addiction-related habits.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jared will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to help. If one approach does not fit, he adjusts the focus and suggests alternatives that align with what the client needs.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy home or work week and having shorter check-ins when needed. Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy usable in everyday life so people can practice new skills between meetings and follow clear steps toward goals.
