About Jared

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He focuses on helping people manage thoughts and strong emotions so daily life feels more manageable. Jared draws on a mix of practical and reflective approaches to help with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and midlife transitions.

He takes a client-centered stance that lets the person guide what gets addressed in sessions. Jared also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. Cognitive behavioral work is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits that reduce distress.

In session he blends talk-based work with hands-on tools. Techniques Jared has used include journaling, guided meditation, mindfulness practices, somatic exercises, role-play, and art. He also offers coaching-style support for people aiming to reach goals or find a stronger sense of purpose.

Jared has eight years of clinical experience and holds LMFT credentials in New Hampshire and California. He helps people dealing with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue. Additional foci include attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance addiction.

If someone is unsure what will help, Jared works collaboratively to try different approaches and build lasting skills. To begin, a prospective client would use the site process to match and schedule sessions based on his availability.

How his approaches can work well online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, respond to conflict, and form emotional bonds. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and follows their pace, letting them guide what matters most in each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more useful thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Jared will work with each person to try different methods and find what fits their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so time is spent on what matters most to the client.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, and make it simpler to work around work or caregiving schedules. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm available options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt journaling, mindfulness practices, guided meditations, and CBT exercises to work in remote sessions, and Jared can discuss how to shape remote work to meet practical needs.
