Marie Kidd

Marie Kidd is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and building self-esteem. People often come to her when they feel overwhelmed, stuck after separation, or uncertain about their next steps. She uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and solve everyday problems. Sessions focus on learning practical coping skills, improving how people communicate, and reducing panic and anxiety in daily life. Marie pays attention to both emotions and the real-world pressures that keep problems going. Clients bring concerns such as abandonment, attachment worries, body image, caregiver stress, money problems, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people navigating grief related to divorce and separation and helps with mood concerns and panic attacks. Work is paced to match what each person can handle. Marie aims for a calm, respectful space where people can talk openly and try new ways of coping. She listens and then suggests doable changes to test between sessions. Progress is tracked by what feels different in daily routines and relationships. Based in Montana, Marie combines practical problem solving with attention to emotions and meaning. Her goal is to help people find clearer choices, stronger self-kindness, and more steady daily functioning. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach helps people learn coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another useful set of methods targets communication and relationship patterns by identifying common interaction habits and practicing new, clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie will work with each person to evaluate what feels most helpful based on symptoms, goals, and daily demands. Together they adapt techniques so work between sessions fits real life and produces noticeable changes over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins during a break at work. It can also make some tools simpler to try in the moment, like in-the-moment breathing or guided behavioral experiments, while keeping focus on what helps you feel steadier day to day.
