Alongside her therapy practice, she served for several years as a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Mediator, a role that informed her skill in helping people navigate conflicts and reach workable agreements. MerraLee approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping clients identify strengths and build on them to reclaim joy and balance in their lives. She emphasizes that seeking a more fulfilling life is a courageous step, and she offers steady support throughout that process.

Her practical, respectful approach aims to help people move through difficult transitions and toward greater wellbeing.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

MerraLee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues a person brings to therapy. She employs skills-based interventions that help people manage stress, anxiety, and anger by building practical coping tools and communication strategies. She also applies trauma-informed and family-focused approaches to address trauma, relationship conflict, parenting challenges, and blended family dynamics, aiming to restore functioning and connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. MerraLee works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and together they determine which techniques and focus areas will be most helpful over time.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for greater scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work.
