Marie Pierre-Canel, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Marie

Marie Pierre-Canel is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship tensions, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions may feel straightforward and focused on practical steps rather than long theory talks. Her sessions center on listening first and tailoring tools to each person. She uses short-term strategies as well as deeper conversations to address patterns that keep causing pain.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Narrative Therapy are all part of her toolkit. She also draws on motivational techniques to help people make and sustain changes. Marie has eight years of clinical experience as an LMHC.

She brings experience working with issues like attachment concerns, blended family stress, caregiving strain, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She speaks English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole, which helps when cultural context matters in sessions. Her style is practical and compassionate.

Clients can expect clear goals, gentle feedback, and tools they can use between meetings. Conversations tend to focus on small, workable steps and ways to reframe problems that feel overwhelming. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions using the platform workflow.

Pricing varies by location and therapist availability and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects what’s said to promote insight. This approach is helpful when someone needs validation and a place to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into concrete skills and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending elements from different approaches and adjusting over time as goals change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging suit those who prefer shorter or more frequent contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines while keeping focus on clear goals and practical steps.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
