Approaches that translate to online family work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's concerns and shaping sessions around their priorities. It fits well for relationship and parenting conversations because the therapist follows what the client says matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful reactions in relationship or parenting situations.

Dr. Mercier uses these approaches collaboratively. Early sessions are used to decide which methods feel right for the client's goals and circumstances. He works with each person or couple to tailor the plan and adjusts as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for greater flexibility. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules, allow follow-up between sessions, and offer different ways to communicate when in-person meetings are difficult. The therapist helps clients choose the mix of formats that best supports their progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
