About Marie

Marie Pierre-Canel is a Florida-licensed LMHC who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship friction, and the emotional fallout of major life changes.

Background and approach

She works with clients who are coping with trauma, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, anger, bipolar concerns, self-esteem struggles, and isolation, and she also addresses related issues such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, and blended family tensions.

Her therapeutic stance blends empathy with practical skill-building, drawing on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and narrative techniques to help clients reframe patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. Motivational interviewing and existential ideas inform her work when clients are clarifying values, seeking renewed purpose, or navigating difficult decisions.

With eight years of clinical experience, Marie emphasizes culturally aware care and clear, collaborative planning rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription. Fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole, she brings linguistic flexibility to sessions and aims to create space where diverse perspectives are honored.

Marie is based in Florida and accepts international clients; scheduling uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own priorities guide the work; in online sessions this looks like attentive listening and collaborative goal-setting to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with structured techniques such as thought records and behavioral experiments, which adapt well to video or phone sessions and can produce clear, actionable steps for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe personal stories by identifying themes and alternative interpretations, supporting shifts in identity and meaning during periods of transition or when addressing attachment and relationship patterns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist may draw from multiple approaches, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or across time zones. These formats allow ongoing skill practice, brief check-ins between appointments, and continuity of care for clients who travel or live internationally, while preserving the therapeutic relationship that supports meaningful change.
