About Jameson
Dr. Jameson Mercier is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 18 years of practice. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, fatherhood, and stress-related issues. He speaks English and Haitian Creole.
He trained in marriage and family therapy at the doctoral level and researched Black fathers who are primary caregivers. That research informs how he looks at roles, responsibilities, and identity in parenting and blended families. He also offers coaching-style support alongside counseling.
Clients can expect a practical, structured approach that looks at thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. He uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to address problems like anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. Sessions aim to identify patterns and test new ways of responding.
He also uses trauma-focused methods and Internal Family Systems ideas when past events affect current relationships or behavior. That can include work on family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and first responder or veteran-related concerns. The focus is on manageable steps people can try between sessions.
Dr. Mercier has served on community advisory boards and provides supervision in clinical social work and family therapy in Florida. For people weighing coaching versus counseling, he discusses goals and expected steps up front so the plan is clear.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Mercier commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical experiments to test new responses to anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on the steps a person can take between meetings to move toward their goals.He also brings Client-Centered principles, which focus on listening and clarifying a person’s goals so the work stays practical and focused. Figuring out the best mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The therapist will review how sessions will run and how they fit into each person’s routine during the initial steps of working together.
