Mallerie Berwick , LCSW

Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience. She practices from Florida and works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions. She also helps those concerned about self-esteem, career questions, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Her background includes work in private practice, substance abuse treatment settings, and schools. That variety shapes a flexible approach that fits each person’s situation. She uses practical strategies from evidence-based approaches to address current problems and daily challenges.

In sessions she keeps the tone warm and interactive. She emphasizes building a strong working relationship first. Conversations focus on what matters most now and on steps clients can try between meetings.

Mallerie draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, and attachment-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She also uses emotionally-focused and client-centered work to address relationship and attachment concerns.

People often come for help with panic, obsessive thoughts, codependency, chronic pain or illness, and substance use issues. She supports those coping with guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and purpose questions. Sessions are practical and paced to match each person’s needs.

Her LCSW credential is held in Texas and Florida. She offers sessions in English using a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect a person with the right appointment time.

How her approaches translate to online care

Mallerie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small, values-guided steps. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where shifting focus can reduce unhelpful avoidance.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds still affect feelings and behavior now. That work helps with communication problems, commitment worries, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That exploratory process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client see nonverbal cues and do face-to-face work. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief ongoing support, or need a way to touch base between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life circumstances.
