About Marnie

Marnie Morgan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience and advanced graduate training in both Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy.

Background and approach

She brings long-standing expertise in trauma work, supervision of clinicians pursuing licensure, and graduate-level instruction, combining professional depth with practical skills developed across diverse settings and populations. Her practice emphasizes a client-centered stance grounded in family systems thinking, which supports understanding personal difficulties within the broader context of relationships and life circumstances.

Marnie draws on a range of approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based perspectives, the Gottman method for relational work, and mindfulness strategies, tailoring treatment plans to each person’s distinct needs. Her manner is described as warm and interactive, and she prioritizes collaboration and individualized care to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Clients consult her for a wide variety of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting and family dynamics, sleep problems, career and self-esteem difficulties, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Marnie frames therapy as a courageous, supported process and invites those ready for change to begin a partnership focused on practical growth and resilience.

How Marnie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Marnie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy is another important strand in her work, focusing on how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional safety and intimacy and helping people repair and strengthen connections. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her style as well, emphasizing empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients set the pace and goals for their work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That plan can evolve over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy around work or family obligations, and access support from wherever the client is located in Missouri. Licensed professionals tailor these options to support practical, ongoing progress in therapy.
