Marie Kidd

Marie Kidd is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Montana with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses panic attacks, low self-esteem, and social isolation.

Her sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps that fit daily life. Conversations often include building communication skills, managing overwhelming feelings, and recovering from relationship wounds such as abandonment or separation. She talks with clients about guilt, shame, and forgiveness in clear terms rather than jargon.

Marie blends emotional work with concrete problem solving. That can mean practicing new ways to set boundaries, working through attachment patterns, or making plans to handle money-related stress. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide these conversations and to support shifts in mood and behavior.

Sessions can address body image, caregiver strain, impulsivity, and feelings of loneliness. Marie also helps people facing life transitions and questions about purpose after big changes. The emphasis is on understanding current patterns and testing new actions to see what helps.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, helps identify what matters most to the client, and then works with them to try practical strategies. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online sessions

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotions and behavior. One common approach she uses helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so clients can reduce anxiety and manage mood symptoms more effectively. This work often involves trying small, practical experiments between sessions to see what helps.

Another frequently used method looks at attachment and relationship patterns. This approach helps people notice how early relationship experiences affect current communication, trust, and reactions to closeness. It can be useful for improving communication and reducing impulsive reactions in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each client to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in about what is working and adjusting strategies as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as session delivery options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing workday appointments that would otherwise be hard to attend. These practical benefits can help people keep continuity with therapy while balancing other commitments.
