Matrice Morrison, LCMHC

Matrice Morrison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward methods to help clients feel steadier and more able to face daily challenges. Matrice aims for a warm, collaborative tone so people feel heard and understood from the start.

Matrice has five years of counseling experience and a longer history providing services on a military base, where she worked with service members and related communities. That background shaped her interest in trauma, grief, communication and trust issues, and building practical coping skills. She also has experience offering group work and resilience training to strengthen stress management.

In sessions she favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and what can be changed to reduce distress. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s experience and mindfulness practices to help manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are introduced when clients want steps and goals to track progress.

Matrice often works with issues related to intimacy, parenting stress, self-esteem, anger, identity concerns including gender dysphoria and LGBT matters, and specific topics such as BDSM and kink culture. She also supports people coping with disaster-related stress, caregiving strain, and the aftermath of separation or loss.

Her style is practical and interactive. Sessions include listening, skill-building, and short homework tasks people can try between meetings. Matrice encourages people to move at a comfortable pace and to set clear, achievable goals for therapy.

How Matrice’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making the client feel heard and respected. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects back what is said, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and strong emotions.

Matrice approaches treatment as a joint process. She will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying approaches, checking how they work, and shifting course when needed so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls are useful for full sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, try short reflections, or get support between longer sessions. These formats help make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy lives.
