About Mercy
Mercy Estevez is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage depression, grief, addiction, anxiety, and major life changes. She works in Florida and offers counseling in English and Spanish. Mercy focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control.
Her approach is client-centered and motivational. She listens first, then helps people set clear, achievable goals. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, build coping skills, and support small changes that add up over time.
Mercy uses techniques from mindfulness and solution-focused therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Trauma-focused methods are available when past events are blocking progress. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
She keeps the room judgment free and practical. Conversations are focused on what matters most to the client and on next steps they feel ready to try. Mercy helps people weigh options and take actions that fit their life.
Clients who want to start are guided through a simple matching and scheduling process. Mercy explains the plan, checks what will work day to day, and adjusts as needs shift. Her goal is steady progress and clearer choices for the future.
Approaches that guide online counseling
Client-centered therapy puts the client's priorities first. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose goals that matter to them. This approach can help with depression, grief, and relationship stress by focusing on what the person wants to change.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away by them. It can reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and make everyday moments easier to manage.
Motivational interviewing focuses on the person's own reasons for change. It works well for addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and life changes by helping someone weigh pros and cons and commit to a plan they actually want to follow.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, require less travel, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use video, phone, or other arrangements depending on what the client and therapist agree will best support ongoing work.
