Rick Merillat Verified Provider

Rick Merillat, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) works at Positive Progress Counseling in Cape Coral, Florida. Merillat specializes in couples therapy, communication skills training and treating anxiety through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). 

Working With Diverse Client Populations 

Merillat treats clients from all age groups including teens/preteens, adults and seniors. He specializes in treating clients who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. He offers individual one-on-one therapy, couples and family therapy to treat and address relationship issues, past traumas, anxiety and depression, among other conditions. 

Unique Treatment Programs Include SFBT and ACT

Merillat provides treatment services that address several mental health conditions. His treatment approaches include acceptance and commitment (ACT) treatment, attachment therapy, eclectic therapy and solution focused brief therapy (SFBT).

I like that he works with couples to address conflicts through revealing fear-based behaviors, including fear of abandonment, self-esteem issues and other negative patterns that may be impacting their relationship in a negative way. He will work with you to regain confidence in your relationship, build trust and security and overall strengthen your communication. 

Merillat will work with you, your partner and your family members to strengthen and rebuild your relationship through resiliency, coping skills and self-confidence building education. His treatment goals are for you and your family to heal, gain trust and grow together in order to strengthen your bonds.
