About Marie
Marie Pierre-Canel is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and major life changes. She draws on eight years of clinical work to guide people through relationship strain, mood shifts, and trauma reaction. Sessions are practical and straightforward, focused on skills you can use between meetings.
Her style is warm and listening-led. She uses clear questions and reflective feedback so people feel heard and can spot patterns in their behavior.
Background and approach
Conversations often move from understanding what is happening to trying small, workable changes that fit daily life. Marie uses methods that help with thinking patterns, personal meaning, and motivation. She may help you test unhelpful thoughts, tell the story of difficult events in a new way, or set small goals that build momentum.
These tools are chosen to match the problem at hand rather than force a single approach. She also pays attention to culture and language. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole, which can make it easier to talk about identity, family expectations, and caregiving stress.
Her experience includes work with people facing ADHD, depression, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue. Marie works with people on a range of issues connected to attachment, communication, and self-worth. If you want a practical, conversational therapist who helps parents and individuals sort out everyday challenges, she may be a good fit.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy is focused on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and can explore what matters most. It helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, and building self-esteem by making space for the client's perspective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and anger by giving clear skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, comfort, and what feels helpful in practice. That means sessions can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face to face when conversation and visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to arrange during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style prompts, or quick problem solving between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules and everyday life.
