About Mercedes

Mercedes Livengood is a Nebraska-based licensed mental health practitioner with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence concerns, depression, and major life transitions. As a LIMHP - a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - she combines clinically informed methods with a strengths-focused perspective, meeting each person where they are while recognizing the skills they already bring to the process.

She has worked with clients navigating motivation and coping with life changes, offering guidance that centers personal values and practical steps for everyday challenges. Mercedes emphasizes that each individual is the expert of their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths to address patterns that cause distress. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life is acknowledged as an act of courage, and she positions herself as a supportive collaborator through that journey.

Her approach aims to empower clients to identify workable strategies, improve emotional regulation, and increase resilience when facing stressors. Based in Nebraska, Mercedes offers compassionate, goal-oriented care tailored to each person’s needs and readiness for change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Mercedes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a strengths-focused approach to help clients manage symptoms and build practical skills. Evidence-based techniques in her practice focus on clear tools and exercises designed to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. A strengths-based approach emphasizes the client’s existing resources and personal values, helping people tap into what already works for them when facing stress and life changes. She also offers trauma-informed support for those affected by abuse or traumatic events, attending to safety, pacing, and stabilization while addressing trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mercedes works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust strategies so care remains practical and aligned with each person’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through multiple ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide an audio-only option, and live chat or text-based messaging can be convenient for shorter check-ins or for those who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work with licensed professionals and therapists while fitting therapy into a busy life.
