About
Marie Hughes
Welcome! I have a genuine interest in helping people and truly enjoy assisting clients reach their full potential. My career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker has afforded me the privilege of working with adolescents and adults for 25 years. I have extenisve experience working within the education setting assisting adolscents and families navigate difficult circumstances helping them achieve greater success. I come from a compassionate approach and have a real curiosity for understanding people’s struggles. I meet my clients where they are and help them get to where they want to be.​
​
​ I work well with clients who experience anxiety and panic, feel overwhelmed, have difficulty concentrating or making decisions, lack of motivation, depression and relationship difficulties (boundary setting, people pleasing, conflict.) I also work well with people who feel lost and not even sure where or how to begin. My communication style is warm and engaging with a discerning touch of humor. Together we will explore your challenges with curiosity and non-judgement, and our goal will be to learn healthy coping mechanisms that lead to lasting well-being.
Empowering Growth....
What skills will we develop together?
In our first sessions I will ask you to describe the struggles you are having and how they are impacting your well-being and causing you concern. I will also ask you to share what you would like to accomplish in our work together. From there, I will tailor my approach to you as an individual and focus on techniques that will help you navigate through those difficulties more successfully, help you feel more relaxed, challenge negative thought patterns, be more mindful of what your feelings are telling you, set limits, and organize self-care.
Although seeking help can be intimidating, the results can be profound and even life changing. If you feel like I may be the right fit for your needs, I encourage you to reach out. It would be my privilege to help guide and support you.
Telehealth Therapy
I am a telehealth therapist. This means I conduct counseling sessions online via video conferencing where I interact with my clients in realtime. As an online therapist I can meet you where you are, exactly how you are.
