About Marie
Marie Demerville is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, anger, and attention challenges. She also helps people carrying guilt and shame related to past actions or ongoing struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.
Marie uses practical, evidence-based methods in conversation and skills practice. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses client-centered techniques to make space for the person's values and choices.
In sessions she talks through what triggers distress and tests small changes that can fit into daily life. She works with issues such as panic attacks, phobias, attachment difficulties, isolation, and the aftereffects of trauma and domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with substance use, impulsivity, hoarding, and smoking or vaping cessation.
Her approach includes skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and setting personal boundaries. She pays attention to cultural and faith backgrounds when they matter to the client. Treatment planning is collaborative and focused on practical next steps rather than labels.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In practice this can mean learning exercises to reduce the hold of guilt or shame and trying value-led actions between sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments to test and change patterns that feed anxiety, panic, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether ACT, CBT, or client-centered methods fit best based on symptoms, goals, and personal preference. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting sessions happen during a work break. It can also make it simpler to use worksheets, practice skills between meetings, and keep momentum when life is hectic.
