About Marie

Marie Demerville is a Florida-licensed LMHC who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting challenges, and attention-related concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to tailor support for each person, meeting them where they are and helping them develop practical coping skills and clearer communication patterns. Her practice emphasizes a compassionate, client-centered stance that invites exploration of emotional patterns, trauma histories, and relational dynamics.

Marie integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ACT, and DBT to support clients navigating panic, shame, addiction, attachment difficulties, and neurodevelopmental differences like autism and Asperger syndrome. With six years of professional experience, she has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including hoarding, impulse control, phobias, substance issues, and smoking or vaping cessation.

She offers services in English and Haitian Creole and works with clients in Florida, combining culturally aware and faith-informed perspectives when requested to align treatment with individual values.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Marie incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding, a practical approach often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and depression. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaboration may blend elements of CBT, ACT, and client-centered care so treatment feels relevant and usable in daily life.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue work on stress management, communication skills, or relapse prevention from home or on the go, while allowing scheduling that fits work, parenting, or other obligations.
