About Mercedelli
Mercedelli Graciano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York who offers bilingual services in English and Spanish. She aims to help people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, low self-esteem, grief, and other life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, with an emphasis on building everyday skills and stronger emotional habits.
She is a self-published author of The Awakening of My Senses and uses that work to remind people they are not alone with their feelings. Sessions often include conversations about self-care, self-awareness, and developing self-control while also recognizing the value of companionship and community. The tone is straightforward and supportive to make therapy approachable.
Graciano combines several therapy approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions. She also incorporates relationship-focused tools when relevant to family and intimacy concerns.
With four years of counseling experience, she focuses on creating a plan that matches a client's goals and daily life. She emphasizes motivation, confidence building, and compassionate listening. People who prefer work in Spanish can request sessions in that language.
Her practice centers on practical steps you can use between sessions. She aims to make starting therapy simple and to tailor conversations so progress feels manageable.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation that helps people feel heard and develop self-understanding.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way sessions stay focused on concrete changes the client wants to see.
