About Mallerie
Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, life changes, ADHD, addictions, and depression. She also addresses compassion fatigue and offers coaching for career and life purpose questions.
Berwick trained in clinical social work and began her career after completing an MSW in 2010. She has worked in a range of settings, including private practice, substance abuse treatment centers, and schools. That variety informs how she adapts methods to different day-to-day pressures.
In sessions she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her work often focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, and commitment concerns. She also helps people navigate body image worries, chronic pain or illness, and co-occurring conditions.
Practical tools appear alongside talk-based work. Clients can expect skill-building for anxiety and panic, strategies for obsessive and compulsive patterns, and support addressing substance use and addiction-related challenges. She also offers help with impulsivity, shame, and isolation.
Sessions aim to identify what feels stuck and to try small, manageable shifts. To begin, prospective clients follow the directory process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and name emotions and interaction patterns that feel stuck in relationships and personal life. It focuses on how feelings and attachment needs shape interactions and helps people notice and change those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts without getting pulled into them, and to take action aligned with personal values when life feels overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That can mean leaning more on EFT for attachment-related concerns or using ACT and CBT strategies for anxiety and compulsive patterns.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work with a licensed professional from wherever they are in Florida, and sessions can be arranged to match practical needs like scheduling and comfort with video or audio.
