Marie Kidd , LCSW

Marie Kidd is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people through stressful and painful life moments. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Marie often supports clients who struggle with self-esteem, body image, panic, and feelings of isolation.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are practical and direct. Marie helps people clarify what matters, learn better ways to communicate, and build steady coping skills that fit day-to-day life.

She also addresses worries tied to attachment and abandonment, caregiver strain, financial stress, and major life transitions like divorce or separation. Conversations often combine emotional processing with concrete problem solving, such as planning next steps or trying new communication techniques.

Clients can expect straightforward language and clear goals. Marie describes the work as a team effort where clients set priorities and try small, manageable changes between sessions. She pays attention to guilt, shame, and patterns that keep people stuck, and helps them practice different responses.

Marie offers sessions to adults from Montana in English. Her approach aims to help people feel more capable, repair relationships where possible, and find greater balance in daily life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on change and coping. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for worry, panic, and mood symptoms. Another approach centers on understanding attachment and patterns in relationships so clients can repair connections and respond differently when old hurts come up. This helps with abandonment, communication problems, and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in sessions, and adjust based on your goals and what feels most helpful. This collaborative process makes it easier to build a plan that fits your life and priorities.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling simpler. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text are useful for short updates, reflecting between sessions, or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to continue care around work, family, and travel commitments.
