Marie Judith Charpentier-Thorpe

Marie Judith Charpentier-Thorpe is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. She frames clients as experts in their own story and works alongside them as they make changes.

With three years of experience as an LPC and LMHC in Florida, she emphasizes strengths and small, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that get in the way and trying new ways of responding. She encourages clients to notice what matters most to them and to take actions that fit their values.

Her approach draws on mindfulness, acceptance and commitment strategies, and cognitive techniques to help people reduce distress and increase flexibility. Attachment ideas and a client-centered stance guide the way she builds trust and explores relationship concerns. Conversations are meant to be direct, respectful, and aimed at practical improvements.

Marie also pays attention to life transitions and identity questions that come with pregnancy and parenthood, workplace stress, and caregiving roles. She supports people who struggle with body image, guilt, loneliness, and finding life purpose. Sessions balance short-term coping skills with longer-term goals for change.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The process is collaborative, and Marie helps people identify steps that fit their daily lives.

Mindfulness and ACT techniques for online sessions

Marie draws on Mindfulness Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to calm the mind and pay attention to the present moment, which can help with stress, anxiety, and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions in daily life to reduce avoidance and increase engagement.

She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas to create a respectful, collaborative process. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist will listen to your goals and try different strategies to see what fits your needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques are made jointly and adjusted over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day and avoid travel. Online work can make it easier to practice mindfulness between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation, while shorter check-ins can be arranged when schedules are tight.
