About Marie
Marie Demerville is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, anger, depression, and attention-related concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at parents and individuals who want clear steps they can try between sessions.
She uses a mix of therapy approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on building everyday coping skills, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming feelings. Marie pays attention to how family roles and parenting demands affect mood and behavior, and she helps people find workable routines and boundaries.
Marie has six years of clinical experience in Florida. That time includes work with people managing trauma, addiction, and neurodevelopmental differences such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She has also supported clients through panic attacks, phobias, and grief-related feelings like guilt and shame.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods. In sessions she blends practical skill teaching with values-based decision making and emotional regulation practice. The result is a plan you can try at home between visits.
People can expect a respectful, culturally aware approach that considers personal beliefs and life context. Marie emphasizes collaboration: together she and the client pick goals and track small changes over time.
How her approaches translate to online care
Marie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can ease parenting stress and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts exercises and homework so they match what someone can actually try between sessions, and checks in on what is or isn't working.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and review progress together during regular appointments.
