About Marnie
Marnie Morgan is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings long experience with trauma and a broad background in counseling adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, addiction, and major life changes. Her approach centers on understanding each person’s situation and building practical steps for change.
She holds two master’s degrees - one in Professional Counseling and one in Marriage and Family Therapy - and has taught counseling at the graduate level.
Background and approach
She has also provided supervision for counselors pursuing licensure. Those roles inform how she structures sessions and supports growth over time. Marnie uses a client-centered style that values collaboration.
She combines family systems ideas with practical tools so sessions reflect the real-world context of a person’s life. The plan of care is tailored to specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Sessions are warm and interactive.
She pulls from cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed ideas along with mindfulness and attachment perspectives to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Work can include skill-building, understanding relational patterns, and processing losses or painful experiences. Marnie focuses on helping people move toward goals that matter to them.
She supports steps toward better sleep, healthier relationships, managing anger, handling caregiver strain, or navigating career and identity concerns. The aim is steady progress that fits each person’s pace.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses; it can help when intimacy, abandonment, or trust issues cause distress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s goals; sessions emphasize empathy and collaboration to help people find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process shapes which methods are used and how sessions are paced so they match individual needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video makes it possible to use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
