About Marnie

Marnie Morgan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She brings 25 years of clinical experience and focused training in trauma-related work. Her background includes graduate-level teaching and supervising counselors pursuing licensure.

She offers a calm, steady presence for people dealing with hard life moments. She uses a client-centered stance that puts each person's goals first. That means sessions are built around what matters to the client, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

She also relies on family systems ideas to look at problems in the context of relationships and daily life. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based thinking, the Gottman Method for relationships, and mindfulness practices. She adapts methods to fit a person's needs and comfort level rather than sticking strictly to one model.

In practice this looks like clear, practical strategies alongside space to tell your story. Marnie has worked with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns. Her specialties include stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, addiction, depression, ADHD, and caregiving stress.

She also addresses related challenges such as communication problems, codependency, and chronic illness. Her sessions aim to help people regain footing during transitions. She focuses on building coping skills, improving connection, and making small, workable changes.

If someone is ready to take a step, she offers supportive guidance through the process.

How approaches and online sessions fit together

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand connection patterns and improve closeness with partners or family members. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each persons own goals. The therapist provides acceptance and reflection so people can explore choices and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches so the work fits the person and their situation.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats can help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel, and allow people to meet from home. The therapist will use whichever format best supports progress and the clients needs.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
