About Marie
Marie Pierre-Canel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family tension, anger, parenting strain, and life changes. She also supports those managing depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and trauma or abuse.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. She listens for communication patterns, attachment concerns, and sources of resentment that keep problems repeating. Work often includes identifying thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and reflecting on values and choices.
Marie uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean client-centered conversations that follow a person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, or narrative work to reframe painful stories. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes.
She pays attention to cultural background and language needs, offering sessions in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole. This helps when cultural expectations affect how anger or family conflict shows up. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image concerns, isolation, and commitment or control issues.
Practical tools are a common part of therapy here. Expect homework that practices new responses, short experiments to test assumptions, and conversations that clarify relationship boundaries. The aim is clearer thinking and calmer behavior, not a quick fix.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short match questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment uses a cancellable subscription model that varies by location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Marie commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy is about following the person’s priorities and reflecting what matters most to them, which can help clarify emotional responses and relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different actions to change reactions, useful for managing anger and anxiety.She also uses elements of narrative therapy, which helps people retell parts of their life story to reduce shame and reshape how they see problems. These approaches are described and tried collaboratively. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences, and they adjust the plan as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in this profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, handle brief check-ins without travel, and use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. The focus is on practical ways to practice new responses between meetings and to apply tools to real situations in everyday life.
