About Marnie

Marnie Morgan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 25 years of experience. She brings long experience helping people who are coping with trauma, relationship strain, anxiety, grief, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Her background includes supervising counselors and teaching graduate-level counseling courses. She holds two master's degrees, one in Professional Counseling and one in Marriage and Family Therapy.

That training informs her systemic view of problems - seeing difficulties in the context of relationships and daily life. She uses that perspective to shape treatment plans to each person's specific needs.

Her way of working is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps.

She combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches when useful. Marnie also uses attachment-based and Gottman Method ideas to help people address intimacy, communication, and connection.

She pays attention to how patterns from the past affect present relationships and coping. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including stress, parenting challenges, addiction-related issues, sleep problems, career strain, and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people facing illness, caregiver stress, abandonment wounds, and complex trauma responses. Marnie aims to empower clients to make steady, realistic changes.

She guides each person at a measured pace and adjusts techniques to match what the person needs and prefers. If someone is ready to begin, she helps them take the next step toward clearer coping and better relationships.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust formed in relationships. It looks at how past bonds shape current emotional responses and helps people build more supported ways of relating. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and conflict habits in close relationships; it offers practical exercises to reduce criticism, improve repair after arguments, and strengthen everyday connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and techniques can be adjusted if something isn’t working well.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls approximate face-to-face sessions and allow visual cues during conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, or written practice between sessions. These options let people access care in ways that suit their schedule and comfort.
