Jared Maloney, LMFT

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical ways to manage thoughts and emotions. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and attachment approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. Jared brings eight years of experience and works from California, offering sessions by video, phone, chat, and messaging.

He prefers short, clear goals in sessions and helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns. Jared also supports clients who want coaching around career direction, motivation, and building self-worth. His work often includes exercises like journaling, guided mindfulness, and role-play to practice new skills.

Jared pays attention to how a person’s early relationships and attachment style shape current reactions. That perspective helps when addressing intimacy issues, codependency, and family of origin questions. He also draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person in the room.

In addition to mood and anxiety concerns, Jared offers support for issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, substance use, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He aims to build tools clients can use between sessions to manage symptoms and daily stressors.

Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time based on the therapist’s availability.

How Jared’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Jared commonly blends cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered listening. Cognitive behavioral work helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps with intimacy problems and codependency. Client-centered methods focus on following the person’s priorities and making the sessions feel collaborative.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jared will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. The plan can change as progress is made so therapy stays aligned with what feels most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and role-play practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling exercises, and tracking progress between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
