Alejandra Mercado

Therapist

Virtual • Austin, TX


I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Supervisor with nearly 10 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, chronic illness, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, with a focus on culturally responsive care.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I have a particular interest in helping clients reconnect with their motivation, discover or redefine their sense of purpose, and heal experiences from childhood that may continue to influence their emotions, relationships, and sense of self today. Together, we can explore the patterns and experiences that have shaped you while also developing practical tools to help you move forward.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. When appropriate, our work may also explore inner-child healing, identity, self-worth, spirituality, relationships, and life purpose.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, reconnect with what matters to you, and create meaningful changes that align with the person you want to become. Services are available in both English and Spanish.
