Lakelyn Malovic LMSW

Hey, I’m Lakelyn, a Licensed Master Social Worker looking to dedicate time partnering with individuals on their therapeutic journey. My main goal is to introduce and/or enhance applicable skills, and provide overall support by being empathetic and transparent.

After graduating with my Master’s from Fordham University, I gained experience working with people who were processing trauma, and who needed to find realistic ways to enhance their quality of life.

I find that enhancing the client’s knowledge of DBT and CBT skills, broadening perspective through Motivational Interviewing, using Narrative Therapy to break down problems, and prioritizing the Strength-Based Approach are the best tools to support fundamental growth and change. But my priority is making the client the expert in their session.

The majority of my experience is rooted in Person Centered Therapeutic approaches to assist people processing trauma, situational stress, and/or life changes. Over the last couple of years, I have spent time supporting those with either one or multiple mental health diagnoses, including those with Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Depression.

I enjoy collaborating with individuals, families, and groups to encourage external support and practice boundary setting. It is important to start where the client is in their journey, so whether the client is trying to boost self confidence, develop coping skills, process stressors, or solidify values, I am here for you and your journey.

When I’m out of the office, I spend a lot of time on self care through hobbies and relaxation. People can easily find me at a park, beach, or anywhere scenic. Reading fiction and dabbling in watercolors have been my top two hobbies in 2026, and I cannot wait to see what I incorporate in my life in the years to come!
