01About Mallery
Mallery Higgs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She brings 11 years of clinical mental health experience alongside decades of coaching and mentoring. Her background includes work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem struggles, depression, and major life changes.
She began with a psychology degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and completed a master’s in community counseling in Atlanta. That training led to a career blending counseling with sports performance support and long-term mentoring roles.
Background and approach
Mallery draws on her experience as a former student-athlete and coach to connect with people facing pressure and performance challenges. In sessions she focuses on practical steps for managing stress, building self-worth, and coping with change. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment, control, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns.
Her style is collaborative and calm. She aims to create a non-judgmental space where clients are listened to and helped to set realistic goals. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Clients can expect a mix of conversational exploration and goal-oriented techniques. Mallery integrates approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of thinking, and develop coping skills to use between sessions. The focus is on supports that suit each person’s daily life.

04Online support
How proven approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps the client clarify goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting presence while sorting through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and recurring stress by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean leaning into more reflective, client-centered work at first, then using CBT techniques or mindfulness practices as tasks and goals become clearer.
Online sessions make it easier to fit work into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options offer flexibility and can help people keep therapy consistent around school, work, or travel.
