Mercy Estevez, LCSW

Mercy Estevez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing midlife change, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress. She works with concerns such as addiction, parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. With 12 years of experience, Mercy uses a calm, supportive approach that centers on the person in front of her. She listens without judgment and helps clients set practical goals they can work toward. Her style is motivational - she encourages small steps that build toward bigger change. Mercy draws on client-centered methods that let each person lead the pace and focus of sessions. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify immediate next steps, and trauma-focused tools when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing often appear in sessions to increase awareness and foster commitment to change. In the room she prioritizes collaboration. She helps people name goals, try different strategies, and adjust those strategies when needed. That means focusing on what is realistic for a person’s life right now - work, family duties, and other demands. People meet her for help with career transitions, feelings of emptiness or isolation, body image and caregiver stress, and for support after losses or major life events. Her aim is to help clients reclaim a sense of direction and move toward practical, sustainable change.

How Mercy’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide what changes to try. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps to move forward and is useful for goal-driven work like career shifts or improving communication. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mercy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. If you’re considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can happen during a break from work or between other commitments. Licensed professionals can use mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing prompts, and solution-focused tasks effectively in remote sessions. Ask about the practical setup and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your daily routine.
