About Marie
Marie Kidd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana with 11 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and trauma and abuse. Her practice also includes concerns like self-esteem, panic, and feelings of isolation.
Marie uses straightforward conversation and practical steps in sessions. She helps people name what feels heavy, sort through upsetting memories, and build better ways to communicate. Sessions often focus on balancing emotional work with everyday coping strategies.
She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when those come up. That can mean looking at early relationship patterns and how they show up now. She also supports people facing grief after divorce or separation and those managing caregiver stress or money worries.
Body image, impulse control, and control issues are part of her caseload, and she works with mood disorders and panic attacks. With concerns like forgiveness, guilt, and shame, she helps clients talk through what happened and what they want moving forward. Practical tools and clearer thinking are common parts of the work.
Marie frames therapy as collaborative. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily life and suggests small, doable changes. People leave sessions with steps to try between meetings and a focus on what feels most pressing.
Her practice is geared toward adults in Montana and conversations happen in English. For first steps she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the work might proceed.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Marie practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear strategies and emotional processing. One common approach is cognitive work that looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests them against real situations to reduce persistent worry or self-criticism. This helps with anxiety, guilt, and negative self-beliefs.Another approach centers on processing traumatic memories and their lingering effects. That work includes gradual, supported discussion of past events, attention to current triggers, and skills to manage intense feelings when they arise. It is often useful for people managing trauma or panic symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
Practical benefits of meeting online are noted, but session formats are not listed here; confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people choose whether to use video or audio depending on what helps them engage with the session.
