About Mallery
Mallery Higgs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia who brings eleven years of clinical experience and decades of coaching and mentoring to her work.
Background and approach
She combines formal training in community counseling with a long history as a student-athlete and coach, and she frames therapy around helping individuals address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and life transitions. Her background in athletics informs an understanding of performance pressures, body image concerns, and the emotional impact of injuries.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect, inviting clients to explore patterns related to attachment, abandonment, control, guilt, shame, multicultural concerns, and self-love. Mallery draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, build practical coping skills, and foster greater self-compassion.
She aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship where people feel heard and empowered to work toward meaningful change. Operating from a independent practice in Georgia, she offers a therapeutic style that balances structure and empathy, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals while leveraging her experience mentoring others to encourage lasting personal growth.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Mallery commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a collaborative relationship where the therapist provides empathy and support to help clients explore feelings and build self-understanding. These methods are presented in everyday language and focused on clear, manageable steps for growth.
Choosing the right approach is treated as a joint process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt methods over time so interventions match preferences and needs. That collaborative stance helps ensure the approach evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or life changes intervene, and allow clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable while still receiving structured, licensed professional care.
