About Jennifer
Jennifer Malkin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, parenting strain, and a range of life changes. Jennifer also lists support for LGBT issues, addiction, ADHD, and intimacy or self-esteem struggles.
She favors a collaborative style where therapist and client set clear goals together. Sessions focus on understanding patterns of behavior and practical steps that reflect the client’s values. Jennifer emphasizes accountability and follows progress with straightforward conversations about successes and setbacks.
Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and an earlier master’s in education, plus a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She also completed BRIEF Mediation Specialization Training and has worked in practice for two decades.
In sessions she draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, client-centered methods, and motivational interviewing. She describes therapy as a joint effort and uses these tools to help people clarify goals and change unhelpful habits.
Jennifer notes practical limits on communication tied to her schedule and asks clients to expect measured response times for messages. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to review goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions that align with what matters most. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making choices during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Mindfulness techniques teach skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. That choice can be adjusted as progress is monitored and needs shift.
The practical benefit of meeting online is fitting sessions into everyday life more easily. Confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. Many clients find online sessions help save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions so clients can practice between meetings and track small changes over time.
