About Jared

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience who draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, mood challenges, relationship concerns, substance issues, and attention-related struggles such as ADHD.

Background and approach

He emphasizes a person-centered stance that invites clients to lead the direction of therapy while integrating practical strategies when useful, blending depth work with goal-oriented tools to support meaningful change. Jared’s work attends to emotion regulation, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and patterns that arise in relationships and family systems.

He also addresses addictions, bipolar mood concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and a wide set of life transitions and career questions. His additional focus areas include attachment-related dynamics, codependency and communication difficulties, caregiver stress, dissociation, and issues related to guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

Licensed in California and New Hampshire, Jared uses techniques from attachment-based therapy, client-centered approaches, CBT, emotionally-focused therapy, and existential perspectives. He incorporates experiential tools such as journaling, mindfulness, somatic exercises, and role-play when appropriate to help clients build lasting coping skills and clarify values and direction.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and how early relationship experiences shape emotional responses; online sessions can explore those attachment dynamics and build new ways of relating in present relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and guiding the conversation by the client's priorities, allowing the therapist to follow the client's lead while supporting self-discovery and change over phone or video.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then combine depth-oriented and skills-based methods as needed so the plan fits the individual rather than fitting the person to one technique.

Online options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to engage on different days. These formats allow people to access a licensed professional from where they are, maintain continuity through life transitions, and try different communication styles to see what best supports progress.
