About Marie
Marie Demerville is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, depression, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole to match client needs.
Marie uses clear, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and DBT-informed skills. In a session she listens to current problems, identifies patterns, and works with the person to try different responses.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress, substance use, and relationship communication problems. Marie also supports people dealing with attachment issues, impulsivity, isolation, guilt, shame, and control struggles. She offers straightforward strategies for smoking or vaping cessation and for addressing hoarding behaviors.
Clients can expect practical exercises, skill-building, and short-term behavioral experiments alongside regular talk therapy. Marie incorporates values-based work and mindfulness from ACT when useful, and emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills from DBT. The focus is on what people can do differently between sessions.
Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, and neurodevelopmental differences such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She uses plain language and step-by-step plans so parents and other busy adults can fit therapeutic work into everyday life. To begin, clients follow the practice's onboarding steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Marie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; it helps with anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood problems. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, using mindfulness and behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance and improve daily routines.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's situation, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and the therapist choose between exercises, skills practice, and values-based assignments together so the work fits the client's pace.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio based on comfort and bandwidth. The focus is on practical skill practice and short behavioral experiments that can be done between meetings to test new ways of responding in daily life.
