Background and approach
Her background includes work in independent practice, substance-abuse treatment settings, and schools. That variety shaped a flexible approach to different everyday problems. In sessions she uses a mix of evidence-informed methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers ways to act on values even when emotions are intense. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationship patterns affect current struggles.
Mallerie commonly supports people dealing with panic and panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, ADHD challenges, addiction-related difficulties, stress, and depression. She also helps clients with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and career decisions. Additional focuses include chronic illness or pain, body image, and feelings of isolation.
Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. She encourages clear goals and practical homework between meetings when that fits. The aim is to reduce symptoms and build routines and skills that make daily life easier.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match personal values so life feels more meaningful despite anxiety or intrusive thoughts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online sessions CBT can guide practical experiments, breathing and exposure exercises, and step-by-step behavior changes for panic, phobias, and OCD symptoms.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns from past relationships and how they show up now. That work can help people improve communication, reduce reactivity, and build more stable connections in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of starting therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made, keeping sessions collaborative and goal-focused.
Online sessions offer flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between meetings and track progress in real time.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still using ACT, CBT, or attachment-informed work in practical ways.
