Marie Cannon, LCSW

Marie Cannon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also supports concerns like low self-esteem, anger, panic attacks, and social anxiety. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than jargon. With 13 years of experience as an LCSW, she draws on a long background working with mood disorders and life transitions. Marie has particular experience supporting caregivers who are overwhelmed or burned out, and she helps people dealing with body image struggles and guilt or shame. She also assists people navigating separation, questions about life purpose, and communication problems. Sessions are built around listening first, then trying small, useful steps that fit day-to-day life. Marie focuses on helping clients notice patterns, practice new responses, and build skills that reduce distress over time. She aims to make therapy feel manageable instead of overwhelming. Clients can expect a steady, respectful approach that balances challenge with encouragement. Marie seeks to create space for honest conversation and gradual change at a pace that feels right for each person. Starting therapy is presented as a partnership. Marie works with people who want clear strategies for coping and better routines, while also exploring deeper issues that keep them stuck.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One common approach is skill-focused work that teaches concrete coping tools for anxiety, panic attacks, and overwhelming stress. These skills can include breathing practices, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans to face feared situations. Another frequently used method involves behavior-focused strategies to reduce depression and addictive patterns by building routines and small achievable goals. This helps people regain momentum, improve mood, and replace unhelpful habits with healthier actions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people meet from locations with fewer distractions. Many licensed professionals find that virtual work supports consistent progress and practical application of new skills in everyday situations.
