About Mallerie

Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience who practices in Florida.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused work, to help people navigate anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, ADHD-related challenges, substance use concerns, and difficult life transitions. Her background includes roles in independent practice, substance abuse treatment settings, and schools, which inform a practical and adaptable clinical perspective.

Her style is collaborative and relational, emphasizing a strong therapeutic alliance and empathic, interactive work. She attends to self-esteem and relationship difficulties, as well as issues such as chronic illness, body image, codependency, and career or family stressors.

Mallerie blends skill-building techniques with attention to attachment and interpersonal dynamics so clients can address symptoms while exploring underlying patterns. Clients who seek support for panic, compulsive behaviors, addiction-related struggles, or uncertainties about life purpose will find a clinician who integrates practical interventions with compassionate exploration.

She offers services in English and holds active licensure in Texas and Florida as an LCSW.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Mental Health Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and mood-related symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can help with stress, chronic distress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that shape how people connect with others and can support work on relationship difficulties, codependency, and long-standing interpersonal struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then combine or adapt methods to suit the individual. This partnership allows practical techniques and relational insight to be blended as appropriate rather than applying a single fixed method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats can support ongoing skills practice, check-ins, and in-depth work while reducing travel time and logistical barriers for many people.
