She draws from relationship-focused methods when exploring how past connections affect current feelings and choices.

Mallerie aims for an interactive, empathetic process. She values a strong working relationship and invites honest feedback about what helps. Sessions tend to combine skills practice, reflection, and small experiments to create gradual change.

People can expect straightforward guidance and collaborative goal-setting. Mallerie helps break larger challenges into doable steps. She supports people as they build routines, manage symptoms, and move toward clearer priorities.

How online sessions use CBT, ACT, and attachment work

Online sessions often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, OCD patterns, and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, adds work on values and committed actions. It supports people who want to move toward meaningful goals despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication, which can help with relationship strain and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches together. That collaborative decision helps tailor techniques to what feels useful and realistic for daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy consistent around busy days.
