About Marie
Marie Hayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience. She is also credentialed as a CSW. She practices from Florida and works with adults facing common life stresses and transitions, including anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship tension, grief, and career concerns.
Marie focuses on practical, straightforward conversation. She helps people talk through low mood, motivation struggles, and self-esteem problems. She also supports adults managing caregiving stress, aging-related concerns, and workplace pressure. Her listing includes LGBT issues, intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue among the areas she addresses.
In sessions she adapts the dialogue and plan to what each person needs. That can mean short-term goal work or longer conversations about patterns that cause pain. She makes space for realistic steps people can try between meetings, and for checking what is or isn’t working.
Her approach emphasizes respect and sensitivity while helping clients take concrete steps forward. She outlines options with clear language and collaborates on goals like improving sleep, reducing panic, or managing anger. People who are juggling parenting, caregiving, or demanding jobs will find a focus on practical coping and planning.
Marie works in English and is not taking international clients. If you prefer to begin online, the site’s matching questionnaire is the next step to schedule a first session and see the subscription details that apply to your location.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods are used in online work
Marie notes an emphasis on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which generally means using methods shown to help with anxiety, depression, and stress. That can involve focused skill practice for managing panic and worry, and short-term structured steps to reduce low mood and increase activity.Another common evidence-based element is working on problem-solving and behavioral experiments. This looks like setting small, testable goals between sessions and reviewing results together to see what changes help day to day. Those techniques are often useful for parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, and workplace challenges.
Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That may mean trying a couple of techniques and adjusting based on what feels helpful.
Session logistics should be checked before booking because the profile does not specify formats. Confirm the available online options on the sign-up page. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without a commute, or fewer disruptions to a caregiving schedule.
