Mercea Strecker, an experienced Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), understands that individuals often realize the need for change in their lives. Many find themselves trying various solutions with limited success. In her practice, she collaborates with clients to create personalized plans that address their unique needs and goals. Specializing in PTSD and trauma, including childhood experiences, military combat, assault, and content moderation challenges, Mercea employs a variety of evidence-based therapies. She effectively integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for anxiety, alongside Advanced EMDR techniques to transform the fight or flight response that may hinder daily living. Mercea’s approach also includes somatic identification to foster the reconnection of the body and mind, as well as psychoeducation to illuminate the brain-body connection. When traditional methods leave individuals feeling stuck, her compassionate guidance helps explore what might be blocking progress and equips them with new tools for achieving the life they envision.
