Jennifer Malkin, LPC

Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience based in South Carolina. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and career concerns. Jennifer uses clear, direct conversation to help people notice patterns and choose different behaviors.

Jennifer earned a master’s degree in counseling and earlier completed graduate work in education and a bachelor’s in psychology. She also holds a National Certified Counselor credential and has training in brief mediation. Over two decades she has helped many people address communication problems, commitment concerns, family-of-origin issues, and difficulties around intimacy.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on clarifying goals, identifying strengths, and testing new behaviors. She encourages honest feedback and mutual accountability as part of making lasting changes.

Clinically she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods feed into practical steps for managing anger, reducing reactivity, and improving relationships.

Jennifer also uses principles from Choice Theory and will work with clients to build a clear treatment plan. She expects clients to engage between sessions and follows progress and setbacks closely. This style is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people handle daily triggers and long-standing patterns.
