About Rixie

Rixie Morris is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who blends client-centered care with practical, skills-based techniques.

Background and approach

She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build healthier coping strategies while keeping the clients perspective central to the work. With six years of clinical experience, she has supported people through depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and substance use concerns.

Her practice aims to cultivate a respectful and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored openly. Rixie has worked across a range of presenting issues including mood disorders, panic and anxiety, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also addresses more specific themes such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Rixie approaches therapy as a collaborative process, viewing each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance, coping skills, and reflective insight.

She uses mindfulness-informed practices alongside CBT and DBT techniques to support people seeking clearer direction, improved emotional regulation, and more satisfying relationships.

Therapy Approaches and Online Care

Rixie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice to combine practical skill building with emotional regulation work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. DBT offers specific strategies for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship challenges, and coping during stressful transitions.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and will tailor techniques from client-centered, CBT, and DBT frameworks so the work fits each persons circumstances rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy with Rixie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow sessions and between-session check-ins to be integrated into everyday life for more consistent progress.
