About MerraLee
Her clinical focus includes communication, control, and boundary work as well as helping clients process guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Much of her practice has centered on family dynamics - addressing parenting concerns, separation, divorce, blended family adjustments, and other family conflicts. In addition to her therapy work, she served for several years as a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Mediator, bringing practical mediation experience to family and relationship concerns.
MerraLee approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for the strengths that will support change and renewed joy. She recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and offers steady support through the process of healing, growth, and practical problem solving.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
MerraLee employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that prioritize clear communication and practical skills. One common focus is communication and boundary-setting skills - teaching ways to express needs, set limits, and repair strained relationships, which is helpful for couples, parents, and blended families. She also uses targeted strategies for managing emotions like guilt, shame, anger, and anxiety - offering step-by-step coping tools to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Given her extensive family work and mediation background, she incorporates approaches that address family dynamics and problem solving to help with separation, divorce, and parenting challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. MerraLee collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy with MerraLee can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or distance from a therapist's office. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support when life becomes challenging.
