About Marnie
Marnie Morgan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings long-term experience in trauma work and has taught graduate counseling classes and supervised counselors seeking licensure. Her background combines training in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, giving her a broad view of relationship and life challenges.
Her approach centers on the person in their everyday world. Sessions are client-centered and informed by family systems ideas, which means problems are looked at in the context of relationships and roles people hold.
How Marnie works
Treatment plans are shaped to fit what each person needs and wants to change. Marnie uses a mix of techniques to help people make practical changes. She draws on cognitive-behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and habits, incorporates mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, and applies attachment-focused ideas to strengthen close relationships.
She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication needs attention. Her manner is warm and interactive. Meetings tend to be collaborative and focused on concrete steps people can try between sessions.
Marnie emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she supports people through difficult life transitions, grief, trauma recovery, and stress management. People come for help with anxiety, depression, addiction struggles, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, caregiving strain, and other life stresses. She speaks English and practices from Missouri.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and why they react certain ways in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the person find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it offers practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marnie will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That might mean blending attachment ideas with CBT tools or using mindfulness practices alongside client-centered conversations to address trauma, grief, or relationship strain.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and flexible communication when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
