About Jennifer
Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, mood concerns, and life transitions. She writes simply and directly, and she aims to create a calm setting where clients can talk honestly about what is hard and what they want to change.
With 20 years of experience, she brings practical tools and steady support to sessions. Jennifer uses straightforward strategies to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and make choices that feel more aligned with their goals.
Background and approach
She values empathy and clear communication in the work. Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their priorities and stay motivated to change.
Sessions typically include moments of reflection, skill building, and setting small, achievable steps. Jennifer holds a master’s degree in counseling and is licensed in South Carolina as an LPC. She has long experience addressing issues such as addiction, parenting stress, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and career or financial stress.
Her background includes helping people cope with caregiver strain, codependency, and midlife or career transitions. She offers a collaborative style that balances challenge with support. Clients work together with her to set goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.
The emphasis is on usable strategies and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the process stays collaborative and goal-oriented.
Online sessions can be held as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, and flexible timing between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working with a licensed professional.
