About Jared

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist who leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns.

Background and approach

He combines CBT with client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives to address mood, coping, and behavioral challenges, drawing on eight years of clinical experience licensed in California and New Hampshire. Jared emphasizes practical strategies alongside deeper exploration so clients can both manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change.

His work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, anger, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career transitions. He also attends to related issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, dissociation, and family of origin dynamics.

Jared integrates techniques like journaling, mindfulness, guided imagery, somatic exercises, and role-play to match each person’s needs. Jared approaches therapy collaboratively, helping people set goals and build sustainable tools for day-to-day life.

He frames therapy as both practical skill-building and a deeper process of finding direction, purpose, and improved emotional regulation. He practices in California and holds the credentials NH LMFT 406 and CA LMFT 118098.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Jared draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and other symptoms. He also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relational patterns influence current emotional responses and relationship difficulties, which can be helpful for intimacy, trust, and communication concerns. In sessions that are client-centered he prioritizes each person's perspective, letting goals and priorities guide the pace and focus of work.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Jared works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, combining practical CBT techniques, relational exploration, and client-led topics as appropriate. He encourages clients to shape the work so the plan matches their goals and preferences rather than following a rigid protocol.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from California and to continue consistent work while balancing daily life, with options for brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what feels most helpful.
