Marie Demerville, LMHC

Marie Demerville is a Florida-based licensed therapist who supports people navigating complex emotional and interpersonal challenges. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, social isolation, and relationship dynamics, and provides focused help for stress management, parenting concerns, anger, and attention-related difficulties. Marie draws on a trauma-informed perspective and experience with addiction, neurodevelopmental differences, and other life complications to tailor practical strategies that meet each client's situation.

Her practice centers on building a compassionate, understanding environment where clients can safely explore their experiences and learn concrete skills for personal growth. Using evidence-based approaches, she guides clients in strengthening resilience, improving communication, and adopting healthier coping mechanisms for issues such as panic disorders, attachment concerns, and social anxiety. Marie is a LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - credentialed to provide professional mental health care in Florida.

She emphasizes culturally sensitive, faith-informed support that honors each person’s background and values, and she partners with clients to develop realistic, meaningful steps toward improved well-being and everyday functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Marie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. ACT focuses on helping clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT offers practical, skills-based strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and invites clients to provide feedback so therapy remains a shared, flexible path.

Online therapy with Marie can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without disrupting daily routines, while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic work and progress.
