About Marie
Marie Kidd is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. She focuses on practical tools for panic attacks, trauma and abuse recovery, and building healthier self-esteem. Her sessions are straightforward and collaborative.
She listens first, then offers ways to calm intense feelings and to handle conflict more clearly. Conversations often include breathing and grounding techniques, learning to spot unhelpful thinking, and practicing new communication skills.
Background and approach
Marie brings 11 years of clinical experience in Montana to her work. That time has included supporting people through grief, separation, and the fallout from betrayal or abandonment. She also provides help for attachment struggles, loneliness, and feelings of shame or guilt.
Clients often address life stressors such as money worries, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and control issues. She pairs emotional work with practical problem solving so steps feel doable between sessions. The goal is skills that fit into everyday life.
Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions emphasize collaboration, clear goals, and steady progress. People leave with concrete strategies for managing intense moments and for rebuilding a sense of purpose and self-compassion.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on calming the body and changing thought patterns. One common approach teaches simple skills to manage panic and anxiety, such as grounding, breath work, and step-by-step coping plans that reduce overwhelm and make intense moments easier to handle. Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with gentle experiments to build more balanced thinking and steadier mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
