She has a Ph.D. in Psychology and a long history of clinical roles that include office management, consultation, and supervision. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger, among other challenges.
Her background includes assessment and treatment of a wide range of issues, from mood and anxiety disorders to trauma and dual diagnoses involving substance use. She has worked with adolescents and adults across outpatient and agency settings. That breadth informs practical, real-world strategies she brings into sessions.
Dr. Malik draws from client-centered principles to keep the focus on the person in front of her.

Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice reactions without immediately acting on them.

She has experience running individual work as well as group formats and has provided guidance for interns and other clinicians. Communication skills, coping with life changes, and managing anger are among the practical topics she addresses.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can set their own goals. It helps people who want straightforward, respectful conversation about what is most pressing in their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns because it gives concrete techniques to test and change reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing interpersonal situations. Those skills can reduce snapping or reactive behavior and help people try different responses when they get heated.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative step. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasize. That choice can shift as people try techniques and report what helps.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not specify which online methods are used. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can be easier to fit a shorter check-in, avoid travel time, or meet during a lunch break. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and format so sessions match your daily routine.
