Mousumi Mallik is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) working in Ohio with three years of clinical experience.

Background and approach
She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. Sessions aim to build practical skills, increase confidence, and set clear, achievable goals. Mousumi has worked with people across the lifespan, from children to older adults, and has experience with college students and caregiver stress.
She also has experience with LGBTQ+ clients and people affected by cancer, including survivors and those in treatment. Her background as a teacher informs how she explains ideas and teaches coping tools. She offers trauma-informed care and emphasizes strength-building.
Her style draws on humanistic and person-centered values, with a focus on empathy and respect. She uses narrative methods, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and solution-focused techniques to help people move forward. Mousumi frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs and circumstances. For parents or individuals worried about daily life, she focuses on simple, usable strategies that fit real routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Many of the techniques Mousumi uses focus on clear, practical skills people can use between sessions. Narrative approaches help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can ease shame and improve self-esteem. Cognitive-behavioral ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That process may change as progress is made, and sessions are used to test and refine what works best.
Online formats offer flexibility for different routines and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady therapeutic process.
