About Mousumi Mallik
Mousumi Mallik is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with three years of professional counseling experience. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bowling Green State University and is currently pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Toledo.
Before training as a clinical counselor in the United States, Mallik worked in human services for more than two decades across Uganda, India, and Northwest Ohio. That international background informs a multicultural approach to care and contributes to her experience with people from diverse backgrounds and life stages. She has supported clients ranging in age from 4 to 92, and her years as a teacher add a practical perspective when working with children and adolescents.
Mallik has experience supporting the LGBTQ+ community and shows particular interest in helping individuals who face severe, persistent mental health challenges or crisis situations. As a cancer survivor, she also understands the impact of serious health conditions and has worked with clients who are undergoing treatment, receiving a diagnosis, or living in survivorship.
Her clinical work includes individual therapy, adolescent and teen support, couples counseling, and group interventions addressing anxiety, PTSD, depression, crisis response, substance use disorder, personality disorder, and other mental health concerns. She provides trauma-informed care, meeting people where they are and helping them build resilience and confidence to navigate difficult life circumstances.
Mallik’s therapeutic orientation blends feministic, humanistic, and person-centered approaches. She integrates narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to establish realistic, attainable goals for treatment. Her practice is guided by values of kindness, compassion, empathy, and humility, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to each individual’s specific needs. Mallik views helping others as a meaningful way to give back and aims to support those ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that fits their routine and comfort level - by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals deliver care through these remote formats, and people may switch therapists if they want a different fit. For many, virtual therapy offers a practical and effective way to access support from qualified therapists without requiring travel or a fixed schedule.
