About Mallerie
Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of clinical experience. She brings practical, down-to-earth care to people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, life shifts, addiction, or struggles with self-worth. Her manner is warm and straightforward, focused on helping people take manageable steps forward.
She has worked across settings including schools, substance abuse treatment, and independent practice. That range shaped a flexible style that fits different life situations.
Background and approach
She often supports people with obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic and anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity challenges, and relationship or attachment difficulties. Mallerie uses methods rooted in acceptance, cognitive work, and relationship-focused therapy. Sessions typically mix learning new coping skills with talking through painful patterns.
She emphasizes building trust and a collaborative plan so clients feel understood and guided. Her work also addresses stress, career questions, body image, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and substance use. She helps people untangle communication problems, commitment worries, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Practical techniques are paired with attention to how past relationships shape present behavior. Clients can expect clear goals, step-by-step strategies, and room to process emotions. Mallerie aims to make therapy useful and doable between sessions.
She encourages clients to try changes, notice their effects, and adjust the plan as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and still move toward meaningful actions. It often helps when anxiety, avoidance, or life changes get in the way of goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or compulsive patterns. It is useful for panic, OCD-type behaviors, and negative self-beliefs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and it can help people improve intimacy and break repeating cycles.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most and what feels doable for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions can be easier on bandwidth or when being on camera is not needed. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between visits.
