About Mercedelli
Mercedelli Graciano is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She offers services in both English and Spanish and aims to make therapy feel safe and approachable for people taking the first step. She emphasizes practical skills like self-care, self-awareness, and building self-esteem.
Sessions often focus on everyday habits that reduce worry and improve confidence. She combines conversation with activities to help people try new ways of handling tough emotions.
Background and approach
Mercedelli uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. This can include acceptance strategies to help tolerate difficult thoughts, cognitive tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, and client-centered conversations that follow the person's pace. She also draws on ideas that address relationship patterns and communication challenges.
Her background includes four years of counseling practice and the work of a self-published author. Writing has informed her interest in emotional awareness and in helping people feel less alone with their feelings. She will tailor the plan and pace to each person's goals and circumstances.
People looking for someone who speaks Spanish will find bilingual support. She emphasizes compassion and understanding and helps people develop healthy emotional habits. The initial steps are conversational and are designed to make starting therapy less intimidating.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward the life they value. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change those patterns and reduce anxiety symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and builds on their strengths.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then try methods that match the client’s needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options allow people to keep momentum with therapy while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
