Jared Maloney, LMFT

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - licensed in California and New Hampshire with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and questions about identity and life direction. Jared also supports people facing sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and career-related stress.

Jared uses practical, conversational work in sessions. He encourages clients to guide what matters most and then helps them break it into steps. That can look like learning to notice thoughts, trying new behaviors between sessions, or practicing role-play to handle a hard conversation. He also uses journaling, art, guided meditations, and somatic exercises when they seem useful.

His approach pulls from attachment-based work and client-centered methods to explore how past relationships shape present reactions. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Emotion-focused elements help identify and name feelings so they are easier to work with.

Jared describes some sessions as solution-focused when clients want to set goals and track progress. Other times he leans into depth-oriented work to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. He aims to balance shorter-term problem solving with attention to longer-standing personal themes.

Practical tools and steady conversation are central to his work. Jared often helps people build day-to-day skills they can use outside sessions, from managing anger to improving communication and coping with life changes.
