Andrew Mercer, LPC, LCPC

Andrew Mercer, LPC, LCPC, holds licenses in Texas and has ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, relationship and family stress, trauma and abuse, and LGBT issues. He describes his style as honest and straightforward and aims for brief, pragmatic work that addresses concrete goals.

Mercer began in pastoral counseling and completed graduate training at Loyola University in Chicago. He also spent years working with college-aged adults as a life coach. He draws from relational approaches including psychodynamic, humanistic, and Adlerian perspectives, and applies them in a practical way to focus progress rather than on long-term exploration.

In sessions he uses plain language and direct feedback. He helps people talk through worries, recognize patterns, and develop realistic coping steps. When spiritual or religious questions are central, he can bring that background into the conversation; when they are not, he shifts to more traditional therapeutic methods.

Clients who prefer a candid, matter-of-fact clinician may find his approach a fit. He emphasizes short-term work when appropriate and aims to keep sessions goal-focused. His experience includes supporting people through grief, navigating LGBT concerns, and addressing anxiety and addictive behaviors.
