About MerraLee
MerraLee Block is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 35 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
Block aims to improve communication and set clearer boundaries so daily life feels less chaotic. She often aids people facing family conflict, parenting challenges, separation, divorce, and blended family issues.
Background and approach
Her background includes work as a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Mediator, which informs how she guides conversations and problem solving. Sessions are conversational and focused on the client’s goals. She emphasizes clients’ strengths and helps them build skills for handling guilt, shame, forgiveness, and control struggles.
The pace and tools are tailored to what each person needs in their situation. Clients seeking help with relationship tensions, intimacy concerns, career stress, or compassion fatigue will find concrete strategies for healthier interactions. She also supports people dealing with identity-related concerns, including LGBT matters, and challenges connected to adoption, attachment, and aging.
Block combines decades of clinical practice with real-world mediation experience. She encourages small, manageable steps toward change and stays grounded in what clients can do between sessions to keep moving forward.

Approaches for practical change and remote care
Block uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear communication and coping skills. One approach emphasizes building communication and boundary skills to reduce conflict and improve relationships; it helps people practice new ways to speak and respond during tense moments. Another approach centers on emotion regulation and coping strategies for anger, anxiety, and stress, teaching step-by-step tools people can use when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to each person's goals and life context, then suggests techniques that fit those needs. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan so it stays practical and doable.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can support brief updates or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work moving forward.
