About Marie

Marie Demerville is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and attention-related concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for people feeling overwhelmed.

She focuses on listening first and then building practical steps clients can use day to day. Sessions often include learning new coping skills, practicing communication techniques, and planning small behavior changes that add up over time. The tone is calm and direct to help clients feel understood and steady in the work.

With six years of clinical experience, Marie draws on several evidence-informed methods to match the work to each person’s goals. She has supported people dealing with panic, attachment struggles, and social isolation, and has experience with clients affected by trauma, substance concerns, and neurodevelopmental differences. Her approach considers cultural and faith backgrounds while remaining client-led.

She emphasizes building resilience and improving how clients handle stress and anger. Practical tools, short exercises, and problem-focused conversations are common in sessions. Progress is measured in small, concrete changes rather than abstract promises.

People who choose Marie can expect a down-to-earth style that balances empathy with clear steps. Before starting, she asks about what matters most to the client and tailors the plan to fit their life and schedule.

How her approaches translate to online work

Marie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice tough thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and build steadier habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, panic, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Marie will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your priorities. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, help sessions fit around childcare or work breaks, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing skills between meetings and using tools like worksheets or guided exercises during a session. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can guide you in choosing the best mix of techniques and session pacing to match your day-to-day life.
