About Molli

Dr. Molli Mercer is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) based in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, including issues connected to LGBT identity. She helps clients talk through immediate problems and find practical steps forward.

Her training includes a master’s degree in Couples and Family Counseling and a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. Mercer uses a solution-focused approach to help clients identify small changes that make a difference. She also emphasizes sex-positive conversations and healthier ways to express sexuality when that is a concern.

Sessions center on clear goals and concrete strategies. Mercer listens for patterns such as attachment or communication problems and then suggests actions a client can try between sessions. She works with issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family stress, codependency, and commitment or control struggles.

She also supports people dealing with avoidant or dependent personality tendencies, coping after disasters, and the complexities that come with co-occurring problems. Discussions may include communication skills, setting boundaries, and managing urges related to addictive behaviors.

Mercer describes the client as the expert on their life and aims to collaborate on practical solutions. People who prefer direct, goal-oriented work often find this approach helpful when they want clear steps and measurable progress.

Approaches used in online sessions

Her practice emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a straightforward way. A solution-focused approach narrows in on specific, achievable goals and suggests small experiments clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve communication. When intimacy or sexual expression is part of the concern, she uses sex-positive conversations to help people name values, set boundaries, and explore healthier ways to connect. Brief behavioral strategies can also be used to manage anxiety and stress by changing routines and practicing new responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their priorities, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust strategies as progress is tracked.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to offer focused, practical support that fits into everyday life.
