About Marie
Marie Pierre-Canel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship strain. She guides clients through life changes and parenting challenges using practical steps and clear conversation. Marie speaks English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole, which helps when cultural context matters in therapy.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, usable strategies.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and on narrative approaches to reframe difficult stories people tell about themselves. Marie also uses existential questions and motivational interviewing to help clients find purpose and strengthen motivation. That mix supports work on self-esteem, coping after trauma, and patterns that keep showing up in relationships.
She emphasizes short-term tools as well as deeper reflection when needed. Over eight years as an LMHC in Florida, she has worked with people facing caregiving stress, isolation, ADHD-related struggles, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Her practice includes helping with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, and communication problems.
Intake typically begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. Sessions are offered in multiple formats so clients can choose what fits their life and technology needs.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk and decide what matters most. It helps with building trust, improving self-understanding, and making choices that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, moods, and actions and teaches clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Marie will work collaboratively to find the right combination of approaches. She will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest strategies from different models that match your needs. Figuring out what works is part of the process and may change as you progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for a more personal connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are good for quick check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter, text-based exchange fits a busy day. These options let people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
