About Jennifer
Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. She uses a straightforward, collaborative style and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Jenn aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can spot patterns and choose healthier responses.
Jenn draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept hard feelings while taking values-driven action.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-centered techniques keep the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities. Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and a prior master’s in education, plus a bachelor’s in psychology.
She holds the LPC credential and has practiced in South Carolina for many years. That experience informs how she helps people set realistic goals and build small, steady changes. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
Jenn listens for strengths, clarifies what matters most, and helps clients try new choices between meetings. She also uses mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life. People who prefer flexible formats can work with her via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling so work can start around current obligations.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, life direction questions, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns that keep problems going and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative throughout.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
