About Jared

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He focuses on helping people manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so daily life feels more manageable. Jared often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and struggles with self-worth or addiction.

He uses a client-centered style that follows what each person brings to the room. Sessions look at the whole person - thoughts, feelings, body sensations, relationships, and values - rather than only symptoms. Jared draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thought patterns and on attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape emotion and behavior.

Jared also works from depth psychology and existential perspectives to help people find meaning, notice recurring patterns, and address long-standing blocks. Practical tools are part of the work too: goal setting, journaling, mindfulness, and simple somatic exercises are commonly used. He has eight years of clinical experience.

People often come for help with grief, trauma, relationship struggles, anger, or career and life transitions, and Jared integrates coaching when clients want direction and planning. He has experience addressing LGBT concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and co-occurring substance issues.

How Jared's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior; online sessions can help identify patterns tied to trust, intimacy, and conflict. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's priorities and building a supportive space where the client sets the agenda and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jared collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying different techniques when needed and adjusting over time. That way the plan fits the problem rather than forcing a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It also lets the therapist assign simple between-session tools like journaling, guided meditations, and behavioral experiments that connect directly to what was discussed in session.
