About Marie

Marie Hayes is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to help people take the first steps toward change.

Marie adapts conversation and plans to each person’s situation. She tailors goals and strategies rather than using one fixed method. That means sessions can focus on building confidence, coping skills, or motivation depending on what someone needs.

Her background includes work addressing grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and workplace stress. She also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, aging and geriatric questions, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

People turn to her for help with career challenges, anger, compassion fatigue, and managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also offers coaching-style support for life purpose, communication problems, and self-love practices.

Marie is licensed as an LCSW and as a CSW and practices in Florida. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats directly so they know how meetings will take place.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low self-esteem. Another approach concentrates on building day-to-day coping skills and behavioral changes to manage mood, motivation, and stress. These methods are aimed at helping people feel more confident and able to handle life’s challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, then adapt techniques to fit what you want to achieve. Together you’ll try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on real progress and feedback.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes continuing weekly work during relocations or schedule changes simpler. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to match your routine and goals.
