About Marie
Marie Demerville is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make sessions easy to follow and practical.
Marie focuses on straightforward problem-solving and skill-building. She listens to each person’s story and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. Then she guides small, doable changes so daily life feels less overwhelming.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Marie has six years of clinical experience working with people facing grief, trauma, addiction, and social isolation. She also supports those dealing with panic attacks, phobias, hoarding, and challenges tied to attachment or communication.
Her work often includes faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Marie helps clients set clear goals and practices techniques between sessions so progress carries into everyday life.
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when hard feelings are present. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and long-term motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It works well for panic, phobias, and everyday worries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then pick or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for hands-on skill practice and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter check-ins that fit a break at work. These options make ongoing support more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
