About Marie

Marie Pierre-Canel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with eight years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole and she accepts international clients.

She focuses on practical communication skills and clearer ways to handle strong emotions. In sessions she helps people notice patterns that fuel anger or resentment and then try new responses. She also supports people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation.

Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people test different thoughts and behaviors. She uses narrative and existential ideas to help clients make sense of difficult experiences and regain a sense of direction. Motivational interviewing helps when clients want to shift habits or move toward specific goals.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete strategies - calming techniques, problem solving, and communication practice - along with exploring how past experiences affect current patterns. She pays attention to cultural background and language needs in planning sessions. The therapist aims to work collaboratively, setting goals and checking progress as treatment proceeds.

People who want straightforward, practical help with anger or relationship tension will find a clear, language-accessible approach. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's needs and perspective. It involves active listening and reflecting what the client brings so they can name concerns and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking that fuels anger and anxiety. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by reworking the story they tell about difficult events and relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means initial sessions often include skill practice and short experiments to see what fits the client's preferences and needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep momentum while learning new ways to manage anger and improve communication.
