About Mallerie
Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, life changes, ADHD, addiction concerns, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. Mallerie draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns or past attachment wounds are part of the concern.
Sessions tend to be interactive and relational. She values the working relationship and pays attention to how people connect, communicate, and cope. Interventions can include talking through emotional patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and learning skills for managing panic, intrusive thoughts, or cravings.
Mallerie has worked in private practice, substance abuse treatment centers, and schools. That variety informs how she supports people with career stress, caregiving strain, or challenges tied to chronic illness and pain. Her background includes treatment for obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, and addiction-related difficulties.
She offers coaching-style support when clients want goal-oriented help alongside therapy. Sessions are grounded in person-to-person work that aims to make everyday life more manageable. To begin, readers are invited to review online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for persistent shame, anxiety, and life-change decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is commonly used for panic, obsessive thoughts, and managing mood or anxiety symptoms.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current trust and communication. It can help when guilt or shame is tied to family history or relationship dynamics.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to try approaches that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques based on how the client responds.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, reduce travel time, and let clients use quieter surroundings rather than travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to virtual sessions so the focus stays on practical skills, relationship patterns, and values-based action without changing the core methods.
