About Jared

Jared Maloney is an LMFT licensed in California and New Hampshire with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues common in young adulthood such as career decisions and life transitions.

Jared helps people sort through thoughts and emotions in practical, clear ways. He uses client-centered methods to let the person set priorities, and cognitive-behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking. He also draws on attachment-focused and emotionally oriented approaches when relationships and connection are central concerns.

In sessions he may introduce straightforward exercises like journaling, guided meditations, role-play, or somatic practices to help people notice how their body and feelings interact. He has experience coaching clients toward goals, improving self-esteem, and creating clearer direction in work and relationships.

He has worked with people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and addiction. Jared also addresses family of origin themes, communication and commitment problems, and struggles with guilt or shame.

People who choose him can expect a mix of talk and practical tools. He looks to build skills that carry beyond individual sessions and to help people make changes that fit everyday life.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can use this approach to look at patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating and communicating.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s agenda first and relies on the therapist responding to what matters most. In remote sessions this often means letting the client lead topics while the therapist reflects and asks clarifying questions to help them move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT works well in online formats because thought records, behavior experiments, and homework can be shared and reviewed between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process includes adjusting techniques if something isn’t helping.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into study and work schedules, allow shorter check-ins, or let them use quieter surroundings. Online work also makes it simple to review written exercises, use guided meditations, and follow up on practical homework between meetings.
