About Mercy
Mercy Estevez is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 12 years of experience. She helps people facing depression, grief and loss, substance use concerns, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and uses a supportive, motivational approach.
Mercy works in a client-centered way. She listens first and helps each person set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and practical steps to get there.
How Mercy works
Mercy aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can make forward progress. Her work often includes coaching around stress, career decisions, self-esteem, and relationship problems. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, addiction issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.
Mercy pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency, and isolation when these come up in sessions. Techniques she draws on include motivational interviewing to tap personal motivation, mindfulness to manage stress and anxiety, and solution-focused methods to build concrete plans. She adapts the method to the person rather than sticking to one rigid style.
Trauma-focused work is used when past harm continues to affect daily life. People can expect a practical, collaborative process. Mercy helps identify next steps and tracks progress over time.
Her goal is to help people gain control over problems and move toward healthier patterns.

Online support options
How her approaches work in online care
Client-centered therapy starts by placing the person's goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose the changes they want to pursue. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce stress and help with anxiety and mood issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mercy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in along the way and adjusts the approach based on what is working for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth or hands-free interaction is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates or check in between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady momentum toward goals.
