About Mercedelli
Mercedelli Graciano is a New York licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and focuses on building self-esteem, confidence, and emotional habits that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of practical talk and structured tools to help clients make small, steady changes. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation and aim to increase awareness, self-care, and healthier responses to stress.
She also addresses issues like grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Mercedelli draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, the Gottman Method, and client-centered work.
She explains ideas clearly and helps people try techniques in everyday situations. That makes it easier to practice new ways of handling conflicts and strong emotions.
Her work covers a range of relationship-related problems such as communication difficulties, infidelity, blended family challenges, and separation. She also supports people dealing with loneliness, life purpose questions, and career or parenting stress.
Sessions may include coaching elements for people wanting practical steps forward. With four years of counseling experience and a focus on reachable goals, Mercedelli aims to make therapy feel straightforward.
She invites people to start with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their lives.
Using Evidence-Informed Approaches Online
Mercedelli commonly draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication problems, bringing practical exercises that help partners notice and change negative cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify values and take small committed steps toward a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-centered therapy provides a warm, person-focused setting where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and use what fits the client’s goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. The process is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for role-plays or deeper discussion, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter, flexible contact is needed. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy lives.
