Getting to know Lianna Malawski

I offer in-person therapy in Lutz, FL. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are ready to move beyond surface-level coping and explore the deeper experiences, identities, and patterns that shape their lives. My work is grounded in authenticity, social justice, and meaningful transformation. I am especially passionate about supporting athletes, BIPOC individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who may feel unseen, misunderstood, or pressured to constantly perform, achieve, or carry more than others realize. As a former Division II athlete with experience supporting Division I and Division III programs, I understand the unique challenges athletes face, including performance pressure, burnout, injury, transitions, identity shifts, and separating self-worth from achievement. Beyond athletics, I help clients navigate trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, chronic pain, substance use, neurodivergence, perfectionism, and the impact of living in systems that may not have supported them. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions. Therapy is tailored to the individual, balancing insight, emotional processing, practical tools, and meaningful change. Clients describe me as direct, supportive, and invested in their growth. I believe therapy should be both a safe and brave space—one where you feel supported while also being encouraged to recognize patterns, challenge old beliefs, and step into change. I work best with clients who are ready to reflect, explore their past, and actively participate in creating a more authentic and fulfilling life. If you’re seeking deeper work beyond quick fixes, I would be honored to support you.
