About Marie
Marie Demerville is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and attention-related concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for busy adults seeking change. Marie focuses on working with adults who want clearer strategies for day-to-day struggles.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps set small, achievable steps toward relief.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods to match the needs of each person. That can mean learning skills to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance of difficult feelings, or strengthening communication habits that ease conflict and frustration. The focus is on what someone can try between sessions to see real progress.
Marie has six years of clinical experience in Florida. During that time she has supported people coping with trauma, addiction, attachment concerns, panic, and social isolation. She also incorporates cultural and faith perspectives when they matter to the person in therapy.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Marie aims to make steps toward better daily functioning clear and manageable.

How these approaches translate to online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for parents who want to respond more intentionally instead of reacting in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach often includes step-by-step exercises that can be done between sessions.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose which approaches fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with the person's progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into family life. Video calls are good for real-time conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let someone check in between sessions or use written coaching when scheduling is tight. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can keep work, parenting, and care responsibilities while getting support.
