About Alejandra
Alejandra Mercado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients across Texas and internationally. Her approach centers on steady, practical steps that fit each person's life.
She focuses on everyday problems that make life feel heavy. That includes panic and worry, trouble with self-esteem, substance use, chronic pain or illness, and the fallout from separation or loss.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems, and guilt or shame. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Alejandra uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a client-centered style to build skills, change unhelpful patterns, and clarify values.
Conversations look at both current stressors and how past experiences shape present reactions. She places emphasis on cultural awareness and the realities of immigration and veteran experiences when relevant. That means listening to each person’s background and connecting treatment to daily life, work, and family roles.
People who work with her can expect clear goals and practical tools for coping. She helps clients identify small changes that add up over time, from managing panic to reducing problematic substance use and improving communication. Therapy also explores deeper questions about purpose and self-compassion.
The aim is not only symptom relief but rebuilding a sense of direction and confidence that fits who the person wants to be.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that align with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through structured exercises and practice; it often helps with panic, worry, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions and feel understood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to see what feels most helpful, combining methods when needed and adjusting as goals evolve. Clients help set priorities and test different strategies until something fits their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to bring therapy into everyday routines.
