About Marie

Marie Hayes is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience. She practices as an LCSW and CSW and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps that fit each person's situation.

She adapts conversations and plans to meet individual needs. That can mean working on motivation, building confidence, or finding ways to cope after a loss or major shift. She also supports people facing relationship strains, workplace stress, caregiving burdens, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is person-centered and goal-focused. Sessions tend to emphasize clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon. Marie encourages small changes that add up over time and checks in about progress as goals evolve.

Marie has experience helping people with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and mood conditions such as bipolar and depression. She also works with issues of isolation, guilt, life purpose, and women's health challenges. Her background includes supporting caregivers and older adults with aging-related concerns.

Sessions are provided in English and Marie practices from Florida. If you would like to explore working together, the process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits your needs. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online support

Marie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people notice small thinking shifts that improve daily functioning.

Another useful approach centers on building concrete skills for coping with stress and life transitions, such as pacing activities, setting boundaries, and improving sleep and routine. Those skills target problems like burnout, grief, and caregiving strain by teaching repeatable habits rather than only talking about feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. You and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful for your situation.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care when life schedules or location change, while still focusing on the same practical skills and goals used in in-person work.
