About Jared
Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He focuses on helping people manage difficult thoughts and emotions and on finding clearer direction in life. Jared draws on a mix of conversational and practical methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship struggles, and low self-worth.
He commonly uses client-centered work that follows what the person brings to a session. Jared also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts.
Over eight years of practice, Jared has worked with people coping with trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and challenges like anger, sleep problems, and eating concerns. He also supports people exploring identity and intimacy issues, including LGBT-related concerns, and those recovering from substance use problems.
Jared often includes practical exercises such as journaling, guided meditation, mindfulness, role-play, and somatic awareness work. He frames these as tools to build daily habits, manage triggers, and strengthen coping skills. He also offers coaching-style support for setting goals and creating more meaningful direction.
Clients can expect straightforward, plain-spoken sessions that aim to develop skills they can use outside therapy. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Approaches that guide online work and practical change
Jared often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current reactions, helping people understand patterns in closeness and trust. He also uses client-centered methods that let the person lead the session while Jared follows and reflects what matters most. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behaviors and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jared will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and checking in about what feels helpful and what does not.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work on goals, mindfulness practices, or skill building from wherever you are located in California, while coordinating scheduling around everyday life.
