About Molli
Dr. Molli Mercer is a Florida LMHC with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports work on communication and commitment struggles.
She holds a master’s degree in Couples and Family Counseling and a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. Over more than a decade she has worked with individuals and couples to address sexual expression, intimacy loss, and substance use concerns. Her practice includes helping people name patterns that cause friction and try different ways of responding.
In sessions she uses a solution-focused stance and practical techniques that aim to change what is getting in the way now. That can look like setting small goals, trying new communication moves, or breaking a problem into manageable parts. She also incorporates play-based ideas when appropriate for developmental or relational work described in her background.
Dr. Mercer takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and offers strategies they can test between meetings. Conversations often include planning next steps and checking what worked or didn’t.
Her work often covers attachment and abandonment issues, blended family adjustments, caregiver stress, and concerns related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. People who are coping with divorce, foster care or adoption questions, or who face avoidant or dependent personality patterns may also find the focus areas she lists relevant.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Mercer describes her clinical style as solution-focused and oriented toward healthy sexual expression and relationship skills. A solution-focused approach looks at current patterns and sets small, concrete goals. It helps when someone wants brief, goal-oriented work on things like people-pleasing, communication, or reducing risky behaviors.She also integrates skills that address intimacy and attachment concerns. That includes practicing new ways of bringing up difficult topics, pacing conversations about closeness, and testing small behavior changes to see what shifts in relationships. These methods are useful for work around commitment, abandonment concerns, and codependency patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion can include how many sessions to try, what to focus on first, and what homework or between-session experiments might look like.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises, role-plays, and planning tasks for remote meetings so clients can practice changes in their day-to-day life.
