About Jennifer
Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, addiction, and money and financial issues. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

Jennifer earned a master’s degree in counseling and also holds a prior master’s in education plus a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She practices in South Carolina and holds LPC credentials in Connecticut and South Carolina. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life results rather than labels.
Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Jennifer invites clients to notice patterns, set achievable goals, and try small experiments to shift behavior. She emphasizes involvement from the client as part of progress.
In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people clarify what matters most. She also challenges unhelpful habits and holds clients accountable to agreed-upon steps. That practical focus can help with career questions, confidence, communication problems, and coping with major life changes.
Jennifer also has training in brief mediation techniques and draws on narrative ideas to reshape stories people tell about themselves. She frames therapy as a shared effort toward clearer choices and steadier daily functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most and take small steps that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard while they sort out decisions and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete experiments to test new behaviors and reduce unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and style. That collaboration means plans can shift as progress and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific online session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to use written exchanges or live conversations depending on what helps the person engage best. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of techniques and session rhythms to practical day-to-day life while keeping the focus on steps that lead toward the client’s goals.
