About Mercy
Mercy Estevez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, grief and loss, substance use concerns, anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, and life transitions.
She uses a client-centered approach and motivational counseling to help people set concrete goals. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can take between meetings. Mercy helps people identify what they want to change and supports them as they experiment with new ways of coping.
Her work includes addressing trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image, cancer-related challenges, codependency, and isolation or loneliness.
Mercy blends mindfulness and solution-focused techniques with motivational interviewing. That means she pays attention to how thoughts and habits affect daily life, while helping clients find small, manageable changes that fit their routines. When trauma is part of the picture, she uses trauma-focused methods to stabilize symptoms and build safety and coping skills.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Mercy works with adults who want straightforward, goal-oriented help for emotional and behavioral challenges. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Mercy uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify priorities and make decisions that fit their lives. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and build calm. It can help with anxiety, stress, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a practical way to explore a person's goals and the reasons for change. It supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about steps like reducing substance use or changing a routine.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mercy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adapt techniques over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
The practical benefits of remote work are about fitting therapy into everyday schedules. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, and other commitments. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins, while others suit deeper conversations that use visual cues. Mercy aims to shape sessions so they fit into a client's routine while focusing on clear, achievable steps between meetings.
