Mallerie Berwick, LCSW

Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of clinical experience. She trained in clinical social work and has worked across private practice, substance abuse treatment settings, and schools. Mallerie focuses on helping people manage anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, ADHD, and the stress of big life changes.

Her style is warm and interactive. She places a lot of value on the relationship between therapist and client and aims to build trust quickly. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with practical steps alongside conversations about patterns and past experiences.

Mallerie uses a mix of approaches that match the problem at hand. That can mean tackling unhelpful thinking with cognitive behavioral techniques, practicing acceptance and values-based action, or looking at how attachment patterns shape relationships. She also draws on emotionally focused and client-centered ideas when working through connection and self-esteem concerns.

Many people seek her help for addictions, panic and anxiety, body image and chronic illness challenges, or difficulties with communication and intimacy. She also supports clients who feel stuck by guilt, shame, or a sense of isolation and who want clearer purpose or healthier coping skills.

Her background includes work with adolescents and young adults and experience across medical and community settings. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Mallerie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, chronic pain, and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, panic, and OCD symptoms. That approach is practical and skill-based. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication and can help with trust, intimacy, and repeated conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then suggest one or a blend of methods. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require. It also makes it possible to bring real-life situations into discussion more readily, such as practicing communication or managing daily routines, while still keeping the focus on the client's goals and agreed-upon steps.
