Matrice Morrison, LCMHC

Matrice Morrison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, and parenting strain. She works with adults and adolescents and emphasizes a compassionate, collaborative approach that centers the client's needs. Her style is practical and interactive, aimed at helping people take small, meaningful steps forward.

Matrice uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. She also draws on mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness and on solution-focused ideas to set manageable goals. Sessions are described as collaborative, with the client guiding priorities and the counselor offering tools and feedback.

Before moving into civilian practice, she spent a decade working with the military community at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. During that time she provided individual counseling, couples work, group therapy, and psychoeducation, and she delivered resilience training to build stress management skills.

Her experience includes work addressing post-traumatic stress, communication and trust issues in romantic relationships, depression, suicidal thoughts, and adjustment after loss. She has also supported people navigating gender dysphoria, caregiving stress, BDSM and kink concerns, and first responder issues.

Matrice aims to make beginning therapy straightforward. She invites people to take a first step, recognizing that opening up can feel difficult, and she focuses on practical changes that fit each person's life.

How Matrice's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the counselor. It helps people feel heard and helps shape goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Matrice collaborates with each person to choose which strategies to try first, based on their goals, history, and day-to-day needs. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and relevant to real problems people bring.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options exist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or caregiving duties. It can also let people practice CBT skills and mindfulness between meetings in their everyday environments, which often helps transfer new habits into daily routines.
