About Mercy

Mercy Estevez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing issues such as depression, grief and loss, substance use concerns, stress, anxiety, and anger. Mercy also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, career questions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and other life changes.

Her approach is client-centered and motivational. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change. Mercy listens, helps people set clear goals, and supports steps toward those goals. Conversations are practical and focused on everyday strategies rather than jargon.

She uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice reactions and choose responses. Solution-focused work helps clients identify small, doable changes that add up over time. When past trauma is relevant, Mercy draws on trauma-focused methods to address how those experiences affect current behavior and feelings.

Mercy offers counseling in English and Spanish. She frames problems like anger, substance use, or grief as issues with patterns that can be worked on, not fixed overnight. Sessions often combine short-term problem solving with attention to longer-term patterns.

People meet her to sort through immediate stressors and to build clearer plans for work, relationships, and mood regulation. The work tends to be direct and goal-oriented, while keeping attention on practical steps that fit into daily life.

How sessions work

How Mercy’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. In online sessions this means conversations that follow what matters most to the client while the therapist helps shape next steps. It works well for mood concerns, relationship stress, and anger that shows up in daily life.

Motivational interviewing is about clarifying reasons for change and reducing doubts. Online sessions use questions and reflections to help people find their own motivations for changing habits like substance use, avoidance, or reactive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mercy will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That choice can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce commute time, and it can let people fit a shorter check-in into a workday or choose a session style that needs less bandwidth. Talk with the therapist about practical needs and how sessions can fit into everyday life.
