About Jared

Jared Maloney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California and New Hampshire with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and shifts in life direction. Jared also notes work with grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and family of origin issues.

Jared uses a client-centered stance that lets people identify the most pressing concerns. He often pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas come into the work when relationships and emotional patterns are the focus.

His background includes approaches that look at deeper meaning and personality patterns, such as existential and Jungian-informed work. That can include talking through repeating roles from childhood, exploring how attachment shows up now, and examining values and purpose. Practical tools like goal-setting and brief solution-focused steps are used alongside deeper exploration.

Jared has used a range of techniques in sessions, including journaling prompts, guided imagery, mindfulness practices, somatic exercises, and role-play when helpful. He also brings coaching elements for clients who want concrete direction and skills to meet goals.

People who choose Jared can expect conversational sessions that blend reflection with hands-on skills. He describes the work as collaborative, aiming to build resources clients can use after therapy ends.

Approach to online work using attachment and CBT

Jared commonly blends attachment-based thinking with cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and what people do when they feel threatened or disconnected. It helps when recurring roles from childhood affect current relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and testing them through practical experiments and skill-building. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and habits such as problematic coping behaviors or intrusive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the first weeks of work. Jared will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those priorities. That collaborative process can include setting short-term goals, experimenting with new responses, and checking what helps between sessions.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since session options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also allows mixing reflective conversation with practical exercises such as guided mindfulness, journaling tasks, or role-play adapted for a virtual session.
