She practices in Florida and helps people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and major life changes. Her style is warm and interactive, and she emphasizes building a strong working relationship before moving into skills work.

Mallerie also pays close attention to attachment and relationship dynamics. She helps clients untangle communication problems, commitment concerns, and the impact of early patterns on current relationships. Sessions can include exploring feelings, practicing new interactions, and setting small goals to change daily habits.

She has experience across settings including private practice, substance abuse treatment, and schools. That background informs practical, real-world steps for recovery and change. Mallerie combines emotion-focused listening with techniques aimed at shifting thoughts and behaviors.

People come to her for help with panic, obsessive thoughts, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue among other issues. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports clients in finding sustainable routines and coping strategies that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It combines mindfulness skills with simple behavioral steps to reduce getting stuck on anxious or critical thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT often uses short exercises, homework, and tracking to change everyday habits that maintain symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as sessions progress so the work fits your needs and daily life.

Please confirm available session formats before booking because specific options are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets sessions focus on practicing skills in the environments where habits actually play out. Licensed professionals can suggest practical steps and exercises that translate well to remote sessions, and you and your therapist can decide on the rhythm and structure that works best.
