About Marie
Marie Demerville is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, anger, depression, and attention-related concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for people looking for practical support.
Her style centers on listening first. She creates a space where people can talk through their experiences and figure out what feels most helpful. Sessions focus on small, workable steps toward clearer thinking, better communication, and stronger coping strategies.
Marie draws from several well-known approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She uses these methods to tailor support to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her work includes support for people managing trauma, addiction, panic attacks, attachment concerns, and social anxiety. She also helps with practical behavior changes like smoking or vaping cessation and reducing impulsive reactions.
Marie describes her practice as culturally aware and faith-informed, and she brings six years of clinical experience to her work. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports them in choosing their own goals rather than being told what to do. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify their values and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches clear techniques to change them and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then suggest methods that fit. This is an ongoing conversation, so plans can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or childcare. It can also let people join from a quieter space or choose a session type that needs less bandwidth or no camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered methods to work well in virtual settings, focusing on goals, skills practice, and homework between sessions.
