About Mercy
Mercy Estevez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with grief, depression, substance use, anger, anxiety, and major life changes. Mercy also supports concerns such as self-esteem, career stress, parenting strain, and relationship problems.
Her approach centers on the individual. She uses a client-centered style that encourages people to name goals and make their own decisions. Conversations focus on practical steps and motivation rather than labels or lectures. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what the person wants to change.
Mercy brings motivational methods into sessions to help people push past hesitation. She listens for strengths and choices clients can use right away. That can look like setting small goals, testing a new behavior between sessions, or reworking a response pattern that fuels anger or resentment.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are part of how she helps people manage stress and stay grounded. When trauma or abuse is a factor, trauma-focused work is used to reduce its ongoing impact on daily life. Mercy aims to help people build clearer plans and calmer responses rather than promising quick fixes.
She offers services in English and Spanish and practices across a broad range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, addictions, and caregiver stress. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed steps to begin.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person name goals and make their own choices. This approach helps people who want more control over how they respond to anger or stress.Motivational interviewing uses questions and feedback to boost willingness to change. It helps when someone feels stuck, uncertain, or resistant to trying new ways of coping. Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps that lead to immediate improvements and clearer next actions.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Mercy will collaborate with the client to identify what fits best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
