About Marie
Marie Demerville is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting challenges, and attention-related concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and practices in Florida. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at everyday problems parents and adults face.
She uses a mix of evidence-based methods to meet people where they are. Sessions focus on clear tools for handling panic, managing strong emotions, and improving day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Marie also helps people who feel isolated or stuck regain a sense of direction. Her background includes six years of clinical work supporting people with trauma, substance concerns, and neurodevelopmental differences such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She has worked with clients dealing with attachment issues, phobias, and addiction, and she often guides people through guilt, shame, and forgiveness work.
In sessions she emphasizes building practical skills like communication, impulse control, and healthy coping habits. She tailors strategies to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Parents can expect help with parenting strain and strategies to reduce household conflict.
Marie aims to be culturally aware and faith-informed when requested, respecting each person’s values. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients set goals and try concrete steps between sessions. For those needing flexible contact, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making meaningful changes when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce panic, phobias, and low mood. Both approaches translate well to remote work because they use exercises and homework that can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they try approaches, track what helps, and adjust techniques as needed to find the best fit.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for therapy work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and support between full sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to continue progress when in-person visits aren’t convenient.
