Marie Demerville, LMHC

Marie Demerville is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, anger, depression, and attention concerns. She works with straightforward techniques to make day-to-day life more manageable and to reduce overwhelming thoughts and reactions.

Marie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one core approach to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build actions that match what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the way she listens and responds, keeping the person’s perspective central.

With six years of clinical experience in Florida, Marie has supported people dealing with panic attacks, phobias, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses substance misuse, grief, hoarding, and problems with control and impulsivity. She pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect everyday relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Marie blends practical skills with steady listening so clients can try new behaviors between sessions. She respects each person’s background and beliefs while helping them set realistic goals.

Her practice includes a range of concerns from social isolation and guilt to smoking and vaping cessation. People meet her to learn coping tools, improve communication, and regain a sense of balance in daily life.

Online approaches that fit your life

Marie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and habits like smoking. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on what helps most in real life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues during deeper work, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text are helpful for brief exchanges, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule care around school, work, or family routines.
