Jennifer Malkin

Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people feeling stuck by focusing on clear goals and practical steps. She brings two decades of clinical work and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Jennifer listens closely, points out patterns, and helps clients try new behaviors that fit their values and daily life.

She approaches therapy as a team effort. Jennifer uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Sessions often include goal-setting, practice of new skills, and checking progress over time.

Jennifer has a Master of Arts in Counseling from Western Connecticut State University and earlier training in education and psychology. Her background includes work across many life transitions, career questions, caregiving strain, and grief. She draws on this experience to help clients clarify priorities and make changes that matter.

In the room she balances challenge with support. She will point out where actions don’t match intentions and help clients build achievable plans. That approach is useful for people working on communication, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, or rebuilding after loss.

Jennifer also offers help with career-related decisions and life purpose questions. If scheduling or session options are important to you, confirm current formats and times before booking so you can choose what fits your routine.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making purposeful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and habits. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jennifer will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and practical constraints. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans as progress is tracked.

Confirm current online session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule, make it easier to check in between work or family tasks, and allow for shorter or focused sessions when needed. Licensed professionals can use video or phone appointments and scheduled live sessions to accommodate different needs, but please verify the exact formats offered by this clinician when you book.
