About Rixie

Rixie Morris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young people on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and grief. Parenting concerns and substance use issues are also listed among her areas of practice.

Rixie uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what each person brings to the room. She combines that with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical changes. She also draws on Jungian ideas and mindfulness methods when those perspectives fit a person's needs.

In sessions she talks through current problems, patterns from the past, and concrete skills for coping. For parenting concerns she helps with managing stress, handling difficult emotions, and finding ways to respond differently in heated moments. With trauma and grief she works at a pace the client sets and supports coping as feelings come up.

Her background includes work across age groups in clinical settings and experience addressing mood disorders, panic, ADHD, attachment concerns, abandonment and adoption and foster care matters. She has a play therapy certification noted in her original biography and integrates developmentally appropriate techniques when relevant.

People can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building, and an emphasis on the person's own understanding of their life. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and following their lead. In practice this means session time is used to reflect what matters to the client and to prioritize their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact; it offers straightforward exercises and experiments to try between sessions to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced in daily life.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem relevant, and adjust based on what helps. People often start with a few different strategies to see what fits best rather than committing to a single method up front.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or other responsibilities. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when bandwidth is an issue. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
