About Mallerie
Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works with people who face anxiety, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, substance use concerns, relationship strain, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on concrete skills and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside relationship-based approaches.
In practice she pays attention to attachment and interpersonal patterns that repeat across relationships. That can mean looking at communication, boundaries, and how earlier relationships affect current ones. For people with OCD or panic, sessions will include strategies to reduce avoidance and respond differently to intrusive thoughts.
Mallerie has worked in private practice, substance abuse treatment centers, and schools. That background informs a practical approach to issues like addiction, career stress, and parenting-related strain. She also supports concerns such as body image, chronic illness, guilt, and isolation.
Sessions combine skill practice, real-life experiments, and talking through relationship patterns. She helps people set small tests of change and notice what shifts. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site booking steps and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How specific approaches map to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing behavior changes. Online sessions using CBT typically involve setting clear goals, practicing brief behavioral experiments, and reviewing homework between meetings. ACT emphasizes noticing values and making committed actions even when hard feelings are present; online ACT work often uses exercises to clarify values and small steps toward them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and can include role-play and reflection to try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints and then recommend which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change during therapy.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Explain any scheduling needs on the initial matching questionnaire so the therapist can suggest the best way to proceed.
