About Mercy

Mercy Estevez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with over 12 years of experience helping people navigate major life shifts. She supports those facing grief, depression, anxiety, addiction, stress, and changes in work or family roles. Mercy offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence to help people name what matters and set realistic goals.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her rather than a rigid plan. Sessions focus on listening, building motivation, and uncovering small, manageable steps toward change. Mercy emphasizes working at the client’s pace and keeping practical goals front and center.

Many clients come with relationship strain, parenting pressures, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. Mercy also assists people coping with trauma, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, body image issues, and caregiver stress. She blends straightforward talk with strategies that fit daily life.

Mercy uses mindfulness and motivational techniques to help clients stay grounded and clarify priorities. She applies solution-focused ideas to identify quick, achievable shifts and draws on trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect present choices.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People start by filling out a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for them. Mercy encourages clients to bring specific goals so sessions can focus on real-world progress.

How her approaches translate to online work

Mercy draws on client-centered therapy to keep the focus on each person’s priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. It is useful for people facing grief, transition, or ongoing mood concerns.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings about change. That method involves asking questions that clarify reasons for change and build confidence to try new behaviors. It often helps with addiction, career shifts, and making healthier daily choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mercy will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts pacing and methods as goals evolve so sessions stay relevant and goal oriented.

The practical benefits of remote therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can let people continue momentum between appointments and use tools like mindfulness exercises and brief solution-focused check-ins to support everyday life.
