Matrice Morrison , LCMHC

Matrice Morrison is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with more than five years of counseling experience in North Carolina. For the past ten years she has worked with the military population at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, providing individual counseling, couples counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation focused on building coping skills and resilience.

Her clinical interests include post-traumatic stress, communication and trust issues in couples, grief, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. She describes her therapy style as compassionate, collaborative, and interactive, and uses evidence-based methods to help clients address both immediate concerns and long-term patterns.

Morrison’s foundational approach centers on cognitive behavioral principles. She is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and has delivered resiliency training as a preventive service. She has experience providing evidence-based treatment for active duty service members and veterans and has offered Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy to couples of varied backgrounds.

Her practice takes a holistic view of care and includes work with school-age children, adolescents, and adults. Morrison integrates practical skill-building with therapeutic exploration to support clients as they develop healthier coping strategies and pursue their goals.

Approaches Used Remotely for Practical Growth

Matrice Morrison draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. She also uses client-centered therapy, emphasizing a collaborative and empathetic relationship that helps people explore their values, goals, and emotional experience at their own pace. Mindfulness therapy is another component she integrates, teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can support emotion regulation and grounding during difficult moments.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Morrison collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so the plan aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy in her practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and engage in therapy in a format that fits a client’s life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to practical, evidence-informed care.
