Marie Hayes , LCSW, CSW

Marie Hayes is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She identifies practical steps people can take and offers steady support during difficult moments.

With seven years of experience, Marie draws on methods that focus on clear goals and everyday skills. She adjusts conversations and plans to match each person's needs rather than using the same path for everyone. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people build confidence and motivation.

Marie also supports people facing relationship and intimacy questions, grief, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress. She works with concerns related to parenting, caregiver strain, aging, and workplace pressure. Women's issues are among the areas she pays attention to when helping clients explore identity, life purpose, and self-love.

Clients can expect straightforward sessions that break problems into manageable parts. Marie emphasizes practical tools for coping, clearer communication, and steps to reduce overwhelming emotions. She encourages small changes that add up over time.

Based in Florida, Marie uses a collaborative style to help people set realistic goals and track progress. She aims to create a space where clients can talk honestly, learn skills, and move toward the life they want.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-world changes. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing practices, behavior changes, and step-by-step activity planning to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on improving mood and motivation by breaking goals into small, achievable tasks and tracking progress to rebuild confidence and routine.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Marie works with each person to test what helps most, adjusting methods based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change over time as progress is made or new concerns emerge.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to work on stress, relationships, mood, and women's issues from wherever the client is located in Florida.
