About Jared

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people make practical changes in how they think, feel, and relate. He uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and cope with loss or life transitions. Jared writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel useful from the first session.

He commonly uses client-centered methods that let the person set the agenda while he offers guidance and tools.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his toolkit for noticing thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking. He also draws from attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship dynamics or emotional connection are central concerns. Over eight years of practice, Jared has supported people dealing with depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related challenges.

He helps with practical issues such as sleep, eating, anger, and career concerns as well as broader life questions about meaning and purpose. He also works with issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Sessions often include exercises like journaling, mindfulness, guided imagery, role-play, or simple somatic practices to notice how the body holds emotion.

He tailors tools to each person’s needs and pace. Jared aims to leave people with skills they can use day to day. Licensed as an LMFT in California (CA LMFT 118098) and New Hampshire (NH LMFT 406), he offers services in English and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Attachment-based work emphasizes how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can explore these patterns by noticing emotional responses in conversation and practicing new ways of connecting with others, which can be helpful for relationship-related stress and attachment issues.

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client’s agenda and pace. In this approach the therapist follows the person’s lead and offers reflections and support. That gentle, person-led style adapts well to video or phone sessions because it centers what the client brings each week.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change them. It often uses clear exercises and homework, which transfer easily to online formats like video sessions and messaging support between appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jared will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. The process is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That range makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to check in between meetings, and to use shorter or longer formats when needed. Licensed therapists can use these options to deliver focused tools, make adjustments quickly, and support steady steps toward the client’s goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
