About Mercedelli
Mercedelli Graciano is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, low self-esteem, and grief. She also supports those facing trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career changes, and questions about life purpose. She offers services in English and Spanish and aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and approachable.
She uses clear, practical steps to build emotional habits and confidence. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, learning self-care, and identifying small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Mercedelli emphasizes compassion and steadiness while clients practice new ways of coping. Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior. She also integrates client-centered listening and ideas from the Gottman Method for relationship communication when relevant.
These approaches are adapted to each person’s needs rather than applied the same way for everyone. Mercedelli has four years of counseling experience and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential in New York. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation, focusing on practical tools that can be used between sessions.
Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where goals are set together. She is a self-published author of The Awakening of My Senses and uses bilingual skills to support Spanish speakers. Her style is calm and direct, intended to reduce intimidation and make the process feel manageable from the first session.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Mercedelli often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxious or depressive patterns.She also draws on client-centered principles, offering listening and empathy to help people feel seen before moving into skill work. Choosing the best approach is a joint effort; the therapist and client will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as the work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversation and tasks that benefit from visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, flexible exchanges and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while exploring what techniques work best.
