About MerraLee

MerraLee Block is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of clinical experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and related life challenges including ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skills around communication, boundaries, and managing control while addressing feelings of guilt, shame, and the path toward forgiveness. Her background includes extensive work with family conflict, parenting concerns, separation and divorce, and blended family dynamics.

During her career she also served as a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Mediator, bringing experience in negotiation and conflict resolution into her therapeutic work. Her approach honors each person as the expert on their own life, building on existing strengths to restore joy and improve functioning.

She frames the first step toward change as an act of courage and offers steady support as clients pursue clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and renewed purpose. MerraLee holds an LMHC credential and practices from Florida, providing services in English.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Flexibility

MerraLee integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on improving communication and emotional regulation. One approach helps clients develop clear boundary-setting and communication strategies to reduce conflict and increase personal agency, useful for relationship strain, family problems, and control issues. Another approach centers on processing difficult emotions like guilt, shame, grief, and trauma through structured, skill-oriented work that supports recovery and improved coping.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs before tailoring methods and pacing, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds to ensure a good fit for the client’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people balancing busy schedules or managing access constraints. Sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how and when to connect. This variety of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions while fitting work, family, and other responsibilities into an ongoing therapeutic plan.
