Mallerie Berwick, LCSW

Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience. She trained in clinical social work and brings practical experience from private practice, schools, and substance abuse treatment settings. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, OCD, ADHD, substance-related difficulties, and relationship or self-esteem concerns.

She favors an empathetic, interactive style in sessions. Mallerie emphasizes building a strong working relationship and uses that connection to guide change. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered principles to match the work to each person.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps clients identify small, manageable steps to try between visits. She often combines practical skills with attention to how patterns in relationships and past experiences keep problems active. That approach is useful for panic or obsessive thoughts, motivation struggles, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes treatment for addiction and work with people coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, and career or purpose questions. These areas are treated alongside anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English from Florida. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Mallerie's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, connect to their values, and take small actions that matter. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly applied to panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help with communication, trust, and intimacy difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than following a fixed protocol.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone continue care while managing chronic illness or life changes. Licensed professionals will discuss what format works best and tailor sessions to practical needs and daily life.
