Mallerie Berwick, LCSW

Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and life transitions. She also supports those facing ADHD, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Mallerie earned her MSW in Clinical Social Work and has worked across independent practice, substance abuse treatment settings, and schools. Her background includes many years helping young adults and people navigating major life changes. She draws on a mix of practical methods to match each person she sees.

In sessions, Mallerie aims for an empathetic and interactive style. She focuses on building a strong rapport so people feel heard and understood. Conversations address what matters now and create small steps that can fit into everyday life.

Her approach combines relationship-focused work with evidence-informed strategies. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based tools to manage difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas inform conversations about patterns in close relationships.

Mallerie often helps people with compulsive behaviors, panic and OCD symptoms, and substance-related struggles. She also addresses communication problems, commitment concerns, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness. When someone is ready to start, she guides them through clear, practical next steps.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without pushing them away, then identify actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. It helps people recognize repeating patterns and experiment with different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done collaboratively. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as progress and obstacles become clear.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment isn't needed. It also lets people work through relationship and communication patterns from their everyday environments, which can help practice new skills between sessions. The therapist will help plan how to use online meetings to support your goals and daily life.
