About Jennifer

Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with people navigating ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting challenges, grief, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

Based in South Carolina, she brings two decades of clinical experience to sessions and holds active license entries SC LPC 8701 and CT LPC 001535. Her practice emphasizes practical skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and clarifying goals so clients can make choices that align with their values.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based, blending Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person. She supports work on intimacy and family dynamics, addictions, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and career or financial stress.

Jennifer helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop new coping strategies, and set realistic steps toward meaningful change while honoring each person's priorities and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for people managing anxiety, stress, or challenges with focus and motivation.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for mood regulation, anxiety reduction, and problem solving. Mindfulness-based practices are woven into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which supports attention, emotion regulation, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to select and adapt methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life rather than insisting on a single model.

Online therapy options include scheduled video calls and phone sessions as well as live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and make it easier to maintain continuity of care without geographic constraints.
