— Services —Online Therapy for Women Navigating Grief, Loss & Major Life Transitions
Rebecca Mercurio is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Missouri. She works in private practice in St. Louis, MO, providing online individual therapy services to adult women who are physically located in Missouri during sessions.
— Who Rebecca Mercurio, LCSW, Helps —Women Navigating Grief & Loss
Rebecca Mercurio, LCSW, provides private-pay online individual therapy to adult women in Missouri who are navigating grief, loss, and significant life changes.
Her work is especially suited to women whose lives have been disrupted by the death of someone important, a serious health diagnosis, or a major midlife transition. These experiences can unsettle a woman's sense of identity, stability, and direction, even when she continues to manage responsibilities at home or work.
Rebecca offers a collaborative, relational space where clients can process what has changed, better understand their experiences, and explore what matters in the next chapter of their lives.
— For Clarity: Being Specific —Who Rebecca Mercurio, LCSW, is a Good Fit For
Rebecca is especially well suited to adult women who feel unsettled by grief or a major life transition and want space to understand how these experiences have affected their identity, priorities, relationships, or sense of direction. Her clients may be grieving the death of someone important, processing the emotional impact of a serious health diagnosis, or navigating a midlife transition that has left them questioning what comes next.
Rebecca may be an especially strong fit for women who are accustomed to being capable and dependable but feel disoriented when grief or a significant life change disrupts how they understand themselves and their lives.
She works collaboratively with clients who want to explore the emotional impact of these experiences, reflect on changes in identity and priorities, and consider how they want to move forward. Her active, conversational style suits clients who want an engaged therapeutic relationship rather than a primarily directive, skills-based approach or a therapist who mainly offers supportive listening.
Rebecca provides individual therapy to adult women, including trans women and femmes. Non-binary people who grew up socialized as girls or women are also welcome.
— For Clarity: Being Direct —When Rebecca Mercurio, LCSW, is Not the Right Fit
Rebecca provides private-pay individual therapy for adult women and does not work with minors, couples, or families.
Rebecca is not the best fit for clients seeking a short-term or highly structured, protocol-driven treatment centered on skills training, worksheets, or specific homework assignments. She also does not provide crisis stabilization, on-call support, medication management, or court-related evaluations. Additionally, her services are not a good fit for clients seeking a politically conservative approach or Christian-based counseling.
— How Rebecca Mercurio, LCSW, Helps —Therapeutic Approach & Style
Rebecca Mercurio, LCSW, works collaboratively with her clients and has a deeply relational approach. Sessions with Rebecca are active, engaging, and conversational. Her style is down-to-earth, without any formality. Cursing is welcome. Rebecca brings curiosity, reflection, and humor to her work with clients. She aims to create a space where clients can speak openly, explore difficult experiences with vulnerability, and feel less pressure to mask parts of themselves.
Rebecca's work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In the context of grief and major life transitions, she helps clients make room for difficult emotions, explore how their experiences have affected their sense of self, and identify values that can guide their lives moving forward. She also draws on feminist, mindfulness-based, and narrative approaches when appropriate to a client's needs.
