About Molli
Dr. Molli Mercer is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses issues tied to family of origin, attachment, adoption and foster care, and blended family stress.
She holds a master's degree in Couples and Family Counseling and a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. In sessions she focuses on practical problem solving and clearer communication. She helps people identify patterns that began in their families and how those patterns show up now in relationships, work, and parenting.
Her approach emphasizes solutions and direct skill-building. That can look like setting small behavioral experiments, practicing new ways to talk about needs, and planning steps to reduce risky coping such as substance use. She also works with sexual expression topics, including kink and BDSM, in a sex-positive way when that is relevant.
Dr. Mercer has a background helping people cope with abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, commitment anxiety, and control issues. She also supports those navigating divorce, separation, caregiver stress, and complicated co-morbid conditions. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and practical next steps rather than long theoretical discussion.
People considering therapy with her should expect straightforward conversation about patterns, concrete suggestions to try between sessions, and collaborative planning for change. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Dr. Mercer draws on evidence-based techniques focused on problem solving and relationship skills. A solution-focused approach zeroes in on practical changes and clear goals; it helps when someone wants fast, actionable steps to reduce anxiety or improve communication. Skill-based work on communication and behavioral experiments helps people notice and change patterns that started in the family they grew up in.She also uses sex-positive work to address intimacy and sexual expression concerns. This involves open, nonjudgmental conversations about desires, boundaries, and safer ways to try new behaviors. That approach can assist people navigating issues like loss of intimacy, kink-related questions, or differences in sexual needs with a partner.
Choosing the right method is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, try approaches that match your goals, and adjust the plan if something isnt helping. Clients and the therapist check progress together and pick techniques that fit personal preferences and life demands.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about the practical arrangements that best fit your schedule and needs.
