Marie Demerville, LMHC

Marie Demerville is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, anger, and attention concerns. She greets clients with straightforward care and aims to make conversations feel calm and useful from the first visit.

Her work focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems stuck. She talks through practical ways to manage panic, overwhelming worry, and low mood. She also helps people notice patterns in communication and control issues that affect daily life.

Marie draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build coping skills. Sessions emphasize concrete tools - breathing, behavior experiments, thought tracking, and small changes that add up. The goal is clearer choices and more steady days rather than quick fixes.

She has six years of clinical experience supporting people with trauma, substance concerns, attachment struggles, and social isolation. Her background includes work with those facing phobias, impulsivity, hoarding, and nicotine cessation. Marie offers faith-informed support and attends to cultural context when it matters to clients.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. She practices in Florida as an LMHC and works with each person to set realistic goals and steps they can use between meetings.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and it often includes simple exercises to clarify personal values and take small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises like thought records and behavioral experiments to test what works. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, often using step-by-step practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and daily challenges and then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and may adjust as progress is made.

Confirm session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, video conversations when face-to-face is impractical, or phone calls when bandwidth is limited. These options can reduce travel time and help people use skills in real-time between meetings. Ask about session formats when scheduling to match the practical needs of daily routines.
