About Marnie

Marnie Morgan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 25 years of clinical experience. She holds dual master’s degrees in Professional Counseling and in Marriage and Family Therapy, and her background includes trauma-focused work, graduate-level teaching, and supervising counselors pursuing licensure.

Background and approach

Her training emphasizes family systems thinking, which she uses to understand difficulties within the context of relationships and life circumstances. Her therapeutic stance is warm, interactive, and client-centered, combining several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs.

She draws on Internal Family Systems, attachment-based ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and relational methods such as the Gottman approach when these fit a client’s goals.

Sessions are shaped collaboratively so treatment targets issues like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and burnout, parenting and family transitions, substance and behavioral addictions, chronic illness, and related challenges. Marnie aims to create an accepting space where clients can explore parts of themselves, build coping skills, and develop healthier patterns.

She invites those ready to pursue change to begin with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a convenient session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients benefit from approaches that help them understand parts of themselves and the relationships around them. Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites exploration of internal parts or subpersonalities, helping people notice and work with different inner voices to reduce distress and improve self-leadership. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns created in relationships, offering ways to strengthen emotional bonds and address issues like trust, abandonment, and connection difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop alternative coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will shape a treatment plan that borrows from different models when appropriate, keeping the client’s values and comfort central to the process.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for work and family schedules and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are and adapt sessions to what works best for each person.
