About Marie

Marie Hayes is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She brings seven years of professional experience to work on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Marie aims to make conversations straightforward so people can feel heard and move toward clearer next steps.

She treats everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Marie adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using one-size-fits-all methods.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes small, doable changes that build confidence over time. Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying patterns that keep stress and low mood in place, and practicing new skills. Marie also offers coaching-style support for career questions, motivation, and life direction.

She addresses relationship issues, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns when they are part of someone’s story. Marie holds LCSW and CSW credentials and maintains licensure in multiple states while basing her practice in Florida. She works with people who want to manage caregiving strain, workplace stress, or feelings of isolation.

Practical steps and compassionate listening are central to her work. Marie supports personal growth at whatever pace feels right. She helps clients set realistic goals, try new ways of coping, and notice progress along the way.

Her aim is to empower people to make choices that match their values and daily life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then practice new ways of responding to stress and low mood. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Another frequent technique emphasizes problem-solving and action planning to tackle career stress, motivation blocks, or caregiving challenges. It breaks big problems into small steps so progress feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that seem like a good fit. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit busy lives. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when video isn't possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or on-the-go reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other obligations while still working with licensed professionals.
