About Marie

Marie Pierre-Canel is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with concerns like parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She speaks English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole and aims to make therapy feel accessible across cultures and languages.

She uses practical conversation to name patterns that cause pain. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and see other possibilities.

Background and approach

Client-Centered work emphasizes the person's own goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral ideas are used when changing thoughts and small actions can make a difference. Marie brings eight years of clinical experience in outpatient care.

Her style is direct but compassionate, focusing on clear steps clients can try between sessions. She pays attention to attachment, communication problems, and blended family issues when those concerns come up. In sessions she often helps people identify recurring themes such as abandonment, control issues, or isolation and then test new ways of responding.

For parents she addresses caregiver stress, parenting challenges, and family communication in a concrete way. She also supports people managing mood challenges like bipolar disorder and persistent depression. Marie uses motivational interviewing when clients want to find their own reasons to change.

She aims to collaborate on realistic goals and small experiments that build confidence over time.

Online session options

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Marie uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful stories and consider new meanings; this can help with relationship patterns, identity questions, and reactions to past hurts. Client-Centered Therapy gives clients space to set the pace and goals, which works well in any online format because the therapist follows the person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes, a useful method for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can combine approaches and shift over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to process thoughts between appointments. These options help people access consistent care across time zones and locations while keeping scheduling needs in mind.
