About Andrew
Andrew Mercer is a licensed counselor who brings a decade of clinical experience to his work in Texas. He holds LPC and LCPC credentials and has spent years helping adults talk through anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. He aims for clear, direct sessions that still feel compassionate and patient.
He began his path with training in pastoral counseling and study at Loyola University in Chicago. That background makes him comfortable addressing spiritual or religious questions when they come up.
How Andrew works
He also draws from relational perspectives including psychodynamic, humanistic, and Adlerian ideas, but keeps the process practical and focused. Sessions are aimed at making progress without unnecessary complexity. He uses straightforward talk therapy and goal-focused steps so people can see changes sooner.
Clients can expect honest feedback paired with steady support while they work through hard moments. Andrew has worked with college-aged adults in coaching roles as well as adults in independent practice. Over ten years he has supported people facing stress, addictions, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and career questions, among other concerns.
He pays special attention to LGBT issues and to grief and loss. He offers multiple online formats for sessions. People who prefer phone or text options as well as video calls can choose what fits their life.
The first step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to start moving toward goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrew integrates relational approaches in plain, practical ways. Psychodynamic ideas help look at recurring patterns in relationships and behavior to understand where problems come from and how to change them. Humanistic work focuses on personal values and strengths, helping people make choices that fit their goals and sense of self. Adlerian ideas emphasize practical steps and social connections to build motivation and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor methods to fit each person's situation. That collaborative planning helps keep therapy focused and useful.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or for people who like writing their thoughts instead of speaking.
