About Mallerie

Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with people who face anxiety, panic, OCD, ADHD, substance use concerns, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her background includes work in private practice, substance abuse treatment settings, and schools. She speaks English and works with adult clients in Florida.

Her approach is interactive and relationship-focused. Sessions tend to emphasize building a strong working relationship and practical skills. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different strategies. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationship patterns and family influences.

Mallerie draws on her training as an LCSW and years of clinical experience to blend methods that fit each person. That can mean using exposure-style work for obsessive thoughts, behavioral strategies for anxiety, or values-oriented work from ACT when life changes feel overwhelming. She also brings experience from substance use treatment into conversations about addiction and recovery.

Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and practice new ways of responding between meetings. Expect direct discussion of patterns, experiments to try outside sessions, and regular review of what is helping.

People looking for help with codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, or feeling stuck in relationships may find her experience relevant. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing what matters to you and taking small steps aligned with those values. It can help when people feel stuck during life changes or when anxiety keeps them from doing what matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior. This approach is useful for understanding communication problems, codependency, and patterns that repeat in adult relationships.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients can expect decisions about techniques to be made together, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and choosing quieter surroundings that suit concentration. Some formats may be shorter check-ins or video meetings that avoid being on camera; check the platform options so sessions match daily routines and technical needs.
