About Jennifer
Jennifer Malkin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Jennifer also focuses on codependency, caregiver stress, communication problems, and life transitions.
She prefers straightforward, collaborative work. Sessions look at patterns of behavior and choices that keep a person stuck. Jennifer helps clients clarify goals, recognize strengths, and set practical steps forward. She uses clear feedback and direct challenges when needed to support follow-through.
Her clinical approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered ideas, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods guide specific skills practice, values clarification, and gradually changing unhelpful habits. Mindfulness and acceptance techniques are used to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness.
Jennifer’s background includes a master’s degree in counseling and earlier training in education and psychology. She has long experience helping people with relationship conflicts, blended family issues, divorce and custody concerns, and LGBT-related matters. She also addresses caregiver burnout, forgiveness, infidelity, and financial stress as they affect daily life.
Her style is practical and goal-oriented. Clients can expect planning, homework when useful, and regular check-ins on progress. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to actions that fit those values. It helps when someone feels stuck or avoids hard feelings by teaching small, actionable steps toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful beliefs and change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or relationship problems.
Mindfulness work is used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce automatic reacting. These simple practices can make it easier to notice triggers, slow down, and choose a different response when emotions run high.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clear so the work stays useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that work around work and family demands. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical details fit your routine.
