About Marie
Marie Pierre-Canel is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and parenting strain. She supports those coping with major life changes, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and issues with self-esteem or anger. She works in a straightforward, respectful way.
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client. Marie listens, asks practical questions, and helps people set manageable goals they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and narrative ideas. That means she pays attention to how clients feel in the moment, helps them notice patterns in thinking and behavior, and invites them to tell their story in new ways. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and existential ideas to address meaning and values.
Marie has eight years of clinical experience and practices in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She offers help in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole to reach people from different backgrounds. Therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Many clients find this flexibility useful for fitting care into busy schedules and for checking in between appointments. To begin, individuals complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and encourages clients to lead the conversation, helping them find their own solutions and clarify values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies for anxiety, depression, or anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean starting with listening and goal setting, adding CBT exercises, or using narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face-to-face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions work well for low-bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
