About Mousumi
Mousumi Mallik is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with three years of clinical experience. She earned 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 worked across three continents and brings a broad cultural perspective to her work.
She aims to build a calm, practical space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship problems.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on setting clear, doable goals and finding steps that fit each person's life. Her approach is warm, direct, and rooted in respect. Her background includes work with children, adolescents, college students, and adults, and she has experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and people affected by cancer.
That range helps when someone faces complicated or overlapping issues like mood changes, trauma, or caregiver stress. Mousumi uses a mix of narrative approaches, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and solution-focused steps to help people build skills and notice progress. She leans into clients' strengths and helps them try small changes that add up.
She describes her style as person-centered and humanistic, with attention to kindness, empathy, and practical problem solving. Mousumi will tailor conversations and plans to each individual's needs and goals.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life
Two approaches commonly used are narrative work and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Narrative work helps people name the stories they tell about themselves and then try different ways of telling those stories to reduce shame or blame. Cognitive-behavioral ideas focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical activities to change feelings and behavior; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.Solution-focused steps are also used to set short-term, achievable goals. These techniques help when someone wants quick, concrete changes or tools to manage stress and conflict. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative - the therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins, daily support, or users who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and help maintain continuity of care across locations.
