Andrew Mercer, LPC, LCPC

Andrew Mercer is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with ten years of experience. He combines practical guidance with straightforward conversation to help people facing stress and anxiety. Andrew often works with adults who need clear next steps more than lengthy theory. He aims to make sessions feel direct and usable. Andrew spent part of his training in pastoral counseling and studied at Loyola University in Chicago. He also worked as a life coach with college-aged adults for three years. This background means he can address spiritual or religious questions when they come up, or shift to other approaches for more general concerns. His style is honest and calm. He listens, asks focused questions, and helps clients try new ways of coping. He draws from relational ideas such as psychodynamic, humanistic, and Adlerian perspectives, then applies them in practical ways to keep therapy focused and efficient. Common topics he supports include stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and bipolar mood concerns. He says people benefit from talking through worries and learning small, manageable changes. Andrew welcomes people who want straightforward help and clear tools. He aims to help clients identify goals and take steps toward them. If a client has spiritual questions, he can incorporate that into sessions alongside other approaches. To begin, prospective clients follow the site intake process and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice is based in Texas.

Practical approaches for online therapy and fit

Andrew describes his work as rooted in relational perspectives. Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life; sessions help a person see those patterns and make different choices. Humanistic work centers on listening and supporting a person's own goals and values; it helps when someone wants a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to make sense of feelings. Adlerian-informed ideas look at how motivations and goals shape behavior and help people try small changes to feel more effective.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist discusses options with each person, checks which methods feel right, and adjusts plans based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than committing to a single technique up front.

The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also help when someone prefers to work from a familiar setting or wants therapy that fits around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can help decide how to structure sessions so they work with each person's life and goals.
