About Mousumi
Mousumi Mallik is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Ohio. She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bowling Green State University and has three years of formal counseling experience. Mousumi has worked across three continents and brings that global perspective to her work with individuals.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Mousumi’s path into counseling followed years in human services and classroom teaching.
Background and approach
That background shaped how she communicates with people of different ages, from children to older adults. She has experience supporting people facing cancer-related challenges and those with long-term mental health needs. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
She focuses on helping clients set small, practical goals and build skills to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. She also helps people navigate relationship concerns, parenting questions, grief, and issues around self-esteem and body image. Mousumi describes her style as humanistic and person-centered, and she uses narrative work, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and solution-focused techniques in sessions.
She aims to meet clients where they are and help them increase resilience and confidence. Parents may find her background with children and teaching useful when addressing parenting challenges and child-related concerns. She frames work as a joint effort, tailoring conversation and plans to each person’s needs.

How Mousumi Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Mousumi uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many stress-related patterns.She also incorporates narrative therapy, which helps people reframe life stories and separate problems from identity. Narrative work can be helpful for issues like grief, body image, attachment concerns, and recovery after trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mousumi will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then together they’ll try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is and isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier. Video is good when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or speaking feels easier than being on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, updates between sessions, or when someone needs flexibility during the day.
These options let people fit therapy into busy lives, balance work or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care while living in different places.
