Marie Pierre-Canel

Marie Pierre-Canel is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. She works with clients dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, caregiving stress, low self-esteem, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms. Marie speaks English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole to support people from diverse backgrounds.

In sessions she takes a straightforward, empathetic approach. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on concrete steps a person can try between meetings. She pays attention to communication patterns, attachment dynamics, and how everyday routines affect mood and behavior.

Marie blends several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Narrative and existential ideas are used to examine life meaning and rewrite personal stories.

Her work emphasizes practical tools for coping with anger, improving communication, and managing stress. Clients may leave sessions with simple strategies to handle triggering moments, set boundaries, or reframe difficult thoughts. The goal is clearer choices and steadier day-to-day functioning.

Marie has eight years of clinical experience as an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Florida. She accepts international clients and offers multilingual support. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Marie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where people can describe what matters to them and feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting out feelings and deciding what they want next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT provides practical exercises for managing anger, reducing anxiety, and shifting patterns that cause distress.

She also includes elements of Narrative Therapy to help people examine and rewrite problem-saturated stories about themselves. That can be useful when past experiences shape current reactions and relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they check what’s working and adjust as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant.

For practical details about online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. Different formats can also support shorter problem-focused check-ins or longer therapy conversations depending on what the person needs.
