About Marie

Marie Pierre-Canel is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She supports clients coping with life changes, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem or anger. Marie works in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole and practices from Florida as an FL LMHC.

She keeps sessions direct and focused. Conversations aim to clarify what feels most urgent and find small, practical steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

Clients describe working on communication problems, boundaries, and everyday coping skills that fit their life. Her approach blends existential ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. That mix helps people look at meaning, values, and behavior together rather than only one or the other.

She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative work to help people reshape patterns and move toward goals. With eight years of experience, Marie pays attention to cultural and language needs. That can mean switching between languages, checking assumptions, and tailoring ideas so they fit a person’s background.

She also addresses specific concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, caregiver stress, and body image in practical terms. Sessions use a subscription model and can be scheduled to match therapist availability. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions through the Start Therapy flow.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and the challenges people face in making life decisions. Online sessions can help people talk through values, purpose, and how to live with uncertainty in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective without judgment; that approach helps clients feel heard and develop self-direction in their own time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete strategies to change patterns and reduce symptoms.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs and adjust them as progress and life circumstances change.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - give flexibility for different situations. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send quick updates, journal thoughts, or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
