Jennifer Malkin , LPC

Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - and a Nationally Certified Counselor who brings extensive training in counseling and education to her clients. She earned a master of science in Counseling from Western Connecticut State University, a prior master of education, and a bachelor of arts in Psychology from Hofstra University. She is also certified in B-R-I-E-F Mediation Specialization Training, reflecting additional preparation for conflict resolution and communication work.

Jennifer approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which therapist and client work together to clarify goals, identify strengths, and make practical changes. She emphasizes a supportive, empathetic relationship and uses treatments guided by a shared plan - offering challenge and accountability when clients express intentions they wish to follow through on. Choice Theory is a particularly useful framework in her practice, and she integrates that perspective with other skills to help clients address behavior patterns and decision making.

Her practice covers individual and family concerns, couples issues, blended family dynamics, parental boundaries and reconciled parenting differences, divorce and custody matters, and recovery from abusive relationships. Jennifer works with anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, goal setting, self-defeating beliefs, career and life transitions, confidence building, and LGBT counseling. She also assists with communication skills, family therapy, and a range of relationship and personal development topics.

Jennifer seeks to tailor treatment plans to each person or couple, tracking progress and adjusting interventions as needed. She offers both scheduled live sessions and message-based interactions and aims to respond to clients in a timely way. She works part time for an online counseling service, lives in the Eastern Time zone, and balances clinical work with parenting a young child and a second job. On weekdays she aims to reply within 24 to 48 hours when signed in; weekends are typically days off though she may respond to messages marked urgent. Jennifer hopes to find a schedule that fits prospective clients and supports their path toward healthier relationships and greater well-being.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people consider remote counseling when they need support for common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. For these types of issues, many clients find that working with a licensed professional online can provide meaningful progress and symptom relief.

One major benefit of remote therapy is flexibility. Clients may choose the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level - video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or message-based exchanges are all common options. This range of delivery methods makes it easier to access help without rearranging work, family, or other commitments.

Licensed professionals offer a range of therapeutic approaches in online settings, and clients can change therapists if they are seeking a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to work on emotional concerns, improve relationships, and navigate life changes while maintaining the convenience of remote sessions.
