About Jared
Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. He helps people manage thoughts and emotions so they can move forward.
Background and approach
Jared draws on practical tools and conversations to address stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and addiction concerns. He works with people dealing with grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, and anger.
Jared also supports clients facing life transitions, career crossroads, and questions about purpose and meaning. His approach includes coaching elements when clients want goal-focused work.
Jared blends client-centered listening with cognitive and attachment-focused techniques. That means he follows what matters most to the person in the room while offering ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking and repair important connections.
He often uses mindfulness, journaling, and role-play to make ideas feel practical. He brings eight years of experience and a willingness to tailor methods to each person's needs.
Jared references a range of depth-oriented approaches when exploring patterns that show up again and again in a person's life. He also uses solution-focused strategies to help build confidence through small, measurable steps.
Sessions use conversation plus exercises that can be practiced between meetings. People who prefer different formats can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Jared conducts therapy in English and works under his California and New Hampshire LMFT credentials.
How Jared’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how past bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, try new ways of relating, and practice repair in real time with the therapist's guidance. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's priorities and experience, giving space for what matters most in the moment and letting the client guide the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through concrete experiments and homework between sessions.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jared will listen to goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist work together to choose techniques that match needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and quick problem-solving, and text-based messaging works for ongoing support or people who communicate better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still using attachment, client-centered, and CBT tools.
