Marie Judith Charpentier-Thorpe , LPC, LMHC

Marie Judith Charpentier-Thorpe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Many come to her when life shifts feel overwhelming or relationships cause pain, and she aims to offer steady, practical support.

She works in a collaborative, respectful way that centers the client's experience. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, along with space to talk through feelings. The goal is to build small, usable changes rather than chasing quick fixes.

Her approach draws from several common therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas to create a warm, listening environment where people feel heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work around close relationships and communication problems.

Marie values strengths people already have and helps them notice what’s working. She encourages practical experiments, gentle self-compassion, and clearer communication skills. That makes her work useful for worries about body image, workplace stress, caregiver strain, and life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. With three years of professional experience, she aims to support people who want steady guidance while they make real changes in daily life.

Approaches and how they translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters. It can help when anxiety, stress, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It often includes short exercises to try between sessions that build momentum.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals and preferences, try methods collaboratively, and adjust strategies if something does not fit. That shared planning helps tailor therapy to concerns like relationships, self-esteem, or workplace stress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video allows more visual connection for relationship work and emotion-focused conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief reflections, written exercises, and staying connected between synchronous sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping focus on practical steps and ongoing support.
