About Marnie
Her approach is rooted in client-centered care and family systems ideas. She looks at problems in the context of a person’s relationships and life circumstances. Sessions are shaped to fit the individual needs and goals of each person who comes to see her.
Marnie uses a mix of methods to help people move forward. She draws on attachment-based work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and relationship tools such as the Gottman Method. The plan is practical and focused on small steps that build better patterns over time.
Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where someone can talk through hard things and practice different ways of responding. Clients can expect direct conversation, skill-building, and reflection about patterns that repeat in relationships.
Marnie helps with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, intimacy and relationship struggles, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also works with related areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and dissociation.
Approaches in online therapy and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and helps people understand trust, closeness, and fears of abandonment. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist by listening closely and shaping sessions around the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. That collaboration helps shape what happens in sessions and how progress is measured.
Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and let someone attend from wherever they are living in Missouri. Some formats can be better for shorter check-ins, while others are more suited to longer, in-depth conversations or couples work. Discussing logistics up front helps pick the best way to make therapy part of everyday life.
