About Andrew
Andrew Mercer is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with 10 years of experience based in Texas. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, trauma and bipolar issues.
He uses a direct, plainspoken style in sessions. He favors relational approaches and describes his work as pragmatic and brief when possible. He talks with people about spiritual or religious questions when those come up and shifts toward more traditional methods when they do not.
Andrew trained in pastoral counseling and studied at Loyola University in Chicago. He combines psychodynamic, humanistic and Adlerian perspectives in his work. In practice he focuses on practical steps and clear conversations rather than lengthy theoretical explanations.
People meet him for help sorting grief, managing anxiety, addressing relationship and intimacy difficulties, and finding ways to cope with addiction or mood swings. He also supports clients navigating LGBT issues and parenting strain. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Andrew describes his work as grounded in relational methods that he adapts to each person. Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns in relationships and how past experiences shape current behavior; this can help with repeated anxiety or relationship struggles. Humanistic elements center on listening and supporting a person's own sense-making, which can be useful for grief or existential questions. Adlerian perspectives highlight goals, social connection, and practical steps to change daily behavior, which often helps with motivation, career issues, and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options and try different ways of working based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and may shift as sessions progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many licensed professionals use remote sessions to maintain continuity during life changes; discuss practical needs and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
