About Merry
Merry Walensa is a California licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience. She helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, job and career concerns, and life transitions. Her tone is supportive and direct, aimed at helping someone take the first steps toward change.
Merry blends practical talking and reflective work. She uses a mix of therapy styles that can include acceptance-based practices, cognitive tools, emotion-focused conversations, and skills for managing intense feelings. Sessions are meant to be a place to name what’s hard and find doable next steps.
She describes her work as inclusive of spiritual and existential questions when clients want that explored. That means conversations about meaning, values, and purpose may be part of the process alongside more concrete problem-solving. The focus is on what matters to each person and on small, practical moves toward their goals.
Merry says she creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She emphasizes support and empowerment, and she encourages people to keep appointments or give advance notice when a change is needed.
New clients are asked to start with a video appointment before switching to other formats. Prospective clients should review scheduling rules and confirm current session options before booking a time.
