Marie Hayes , LCSW, CSW

Marie Hayes is a licensed LCSW and CSW practicing in Florida with seven years of professional experience. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW), she applies practical, evidence-informed care to help people manage common concerns such as stress and anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, depression, and difficult life transitions.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to match individual circumstances and goals. Marie emphasizes collaborative planning so that strategies reflect a client’s unique needs and strengths. Seeking change can feel daunting, and she recognizes the courage it takes to begin that process; her role is to support and empower clients as they pursue a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Marie’s work focuses on practical tools and thoughtful guidance to help people build resilience and move forward from challenging periods. Her practice centers on tailoring interventions to fit each client’s priorities, pace, and values while maintaining a warm, professional therapeutic presence.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Marie Hayes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personalized planning. One emphasis is on skills-based work that teaches coping strategies and problem-solving tools for issues such as stress, anxiety, low motivation, and mood challenges. These techniques help clients develop concrete practices they can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Another emphasis is on individualized treatment planning using evidence-informed methods, which means tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and life context. This collaborative process looks at what is working, what needs to change, and which techniques fit best for concerns like relationship strain, life transitions, grief, or burnout.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Marie partners with clients to explore options, adjust strategies over time, and select approaches that align with a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - from video calls and phone sessions to live chat and text-based messaging - providing flexible ways to connect, maintain continuity, and access care around busy schedules, caregiving demands, or mobility limitations.
