Rixie Morris, LPC

Rixie Morris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other concerns. She draws on six years of clinical experience to offer practical strategies and steady support. Rixie keeps conversations straightforward and focused on real-life changes clients can try between sessions.

Rixie emphasizes a collaborative approach. She listens first, then helps people identify unhelpful thinking and small steps that can reduce distress. Sessions often include skill-building from CBT and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) along with mindfulness exercises to calm intense emotions.

She also addresses relationship struggles, parenting stress, addictions, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and panic attacks. Additional focuses include attachment challenges, grief, abandonment issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Rixie tailors each plan to the person in front of her rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice.

Rixie aims to make therapy practical. Clients can expect clear tools for coping, guidance on communication, and attention to patterns that keep problems repeating. She encourages small, doable changes and checks progress along the way.

Her practice uses a mix of talking, skill practice, and mindfulness work to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Rixie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on small experiments and homework that lead to clearer thinking and steadier moods. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work and emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard while deciding goals and next steps together.

She often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These DBT-informed tools can be useful for overwhelming feelings, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors. Rixie discusses options with each person and adjusts the mix of methods based on their needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single path.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for full conversation and skill practice, phone can be a quicker check-in or better with low bandwidth, and messaging allows ongoing reflection or short coaching between live sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family routines, and busy days while still working on concrete skills and progress.
