Marie Demerville, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Marie

Marie Demerville is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and attention concerns. She speaks English and Haitian Creole and practices in Florida as an LMHC. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps parents and adults can use day to day.

She begins by listening to what matters most and then works with each person to set simple goals. Sessions focus on clear skills for managing strong emotions, reducing worry, and improving communication.

Background and approach

When needed, she uses tools that help clients notice thoughts and change unhelpful habits. Her clinical training includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered techniques. Those methods are used to teach coping skills, improve behavior patterns, and reduce distress.

She draws from six years of practice to adapt these tools to each persons situation. Marie has experience supporting people who face panic attacks, attachment concerns, addiction, and social isolation. She also works with issues such as hoarding, grief, phobias, and smoking or vaping cessation.

Her work is influenced by sensitivity to cultural and faith backgrounds when clients wish to include those perspectives. Sessions emphasize building small, reachable changes. The focus is on what someone can do between sessions to feel steadier and communicate more clearly.

Practical steps and steady support are central to how she works.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and make room for valued actions rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Each approach offers concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions to help with stress, panic, and mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. These options allow for continuity of care when travel or time constraints make in-person visits difficult. The range of formats supports different needs, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or shorter check-ins by message.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
