About Jared

Jared Maloney is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who blends Internal Family Systems with other evidence-informed methods to help people navigate difficult emotions and life transitions.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, he supports clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, shame and self-esteem concerns, as well as a range of attachment and intimacy-related issues. Jared also addresses issues such as bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, career stress, and compassion fatigue while offering coaching to clarify goals and life direction.

He uses a flexible, client-guided approach that draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused and attachment-based perspectives, and depth-oriented techniques to explore meaning and underlying patterns. Practical interventions like journaling, mindfulness, guided imagery, somatic exercises, and role-play are combined with reflective work to build resilient resources and lasting skills.

Licensed in California and New Hampshire (NH LMFT 406; CA LMFT 118098), Jared invites people ready to pursue personal growth to begin a collaborative process aimed at clearer priorities and improved emotional regulation.

Integrating IFS and Attachment Work in Online Therapy

Jared commonly blends Internal Family Systems with attachment-based and client-centered approaches to create a collaborative online therapy process. Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and dialogue with the different parts of their inner experience to reduce internal conflict and improve emotional balance. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns and how early connections shape reactions and expectations, which can be especially useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective, allowing sessions to unfold around what feels most pressing while the therapist follows and supports.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process; Jared works with clients to identify which methods align with their goals, history, and comfort level. Over the first sessions he evaluates needs, explains options, and adapts techniques so the work feels relevant and achievable rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access support from home. These formats allow for ongoing collaboration, consistent skill-building, and timely coaching between meetings, while giving clients choices about how they prefer to connect.
