Mousumi Mallik, LPCC

Mousumi Mallik is an LPCC licensed in Ohio with three years of clinical counseling experience. She completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bowling Green State University and is pursuing a doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Toledo. Mousumi has a long history in human services across Uganda, India, and northwest Ohio, and she brings that background into her counseling work.

She meets people where they are and focuses on building practical skills. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small steps, and tools clients can use between meetings. Mousumi leans on narrative techniques, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and solution-focused methods to help clients reshape stories and manage symptoms.

Her experience includes work with people aged 4 to 92, college students, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She also has experience supporting people through cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Those life stages inform how she helps with grief, caregiver stress, and other health-related challenges.

Mousumi names feminist, humanistic, and person-centered values as the foundation of her therapy style. She emphasizes kindness, empathy, and collaboration when creating a treatment plan. Clients can expect respectful listening, tailored goals, and practical steps toward greater resilience.

She lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas and draws on decades of international human services experience to support people facing life transitions. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mousumi uses narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about their lives. This approach helps when past events or identities feel stuck and you want to build a different story about who you are. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mousumi collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She reviews options together and adjusts the plan as progress and life circumstances change.

Confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can also adapt tools like worksheets, behavioral experiments, and narrative exercises so they work over distance. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire to find an arrangement that fits daily life and therapeutic goals.
