About Marie

Marie Pierre-Canel is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and major life changes. She works with people dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood challenges like depression and bipolar, and issues such as anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD.

Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens closely, helps clarify what matters most, and supports practical steps people can try between meetings. Marie uses approaches that center the client's experience and focus on concrete goals and coping skills.

With eight years of experience, she draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. That includes client-centered methods that emphasize understanding, cognitive behavioral techniques aimed at shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and narrative work that looks at personal stories and meanings.

Marie’s multilingual skills allow her to work in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole. She pays attention to culture and communication differences when helping people make changes in daily life and relationships.

Her background emphasizes practical problem solving alongside deeper reflection. People meet to talk through patterns, practice new ways of relating, and build plans to handle stressors. To begin, prospective clients follow the simple intake steps to connect and schedule sessions.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to sort out what matters most in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, mood, and stress management.

Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Rewriting parts of those stories can open different choices and relief from long-standing patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and circumstances shift.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of techniques online to focus on problem solving, communication skills, and emotional processing without promising a particular outcome.
