About Mallerie
Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She brings direct, hands-on care to people facing anxiety, OCD, ADHD, addictions, and major life changes. She helps clients untangle relationship struggles, build self-esteem, and manage stress so daily life feels more manageable.
Berwick’s background includes work in private practice, substance abuse treatment, and school settings. She trained at New York University where she earned a Master of Social Work and holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Florida. Her experience spans a range of concerns from mood and panic disorders to codependency and chronic health challenges.
In sessions she aims to build a strong working relationship first. Conversations are collaborative and direct. She uses practical exercises and real-world strategies so clients can try things between meetings and notice what changes.
Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques, and attachment-focused work. Emotionally focused methods and client-centered care also shape how she supports people through emotional pain and relationship conflict.
People who appreciate a thoughtful, relationship-oriented therapist often find her style useful. She encourages small, steady steps toward clearer values, better communication, and more reliable coping. When someone is ready to start, she guides them through the initial steps and helps shape a plan that fits their life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend techniques to try. Together they adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can happen between work or caregiving tasks. The therapist uses exercises, values work, and communication practice that translate to remote sessions, and she helps clients experiment with tools that fit their routine.
