Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


My name is Ron Morris, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience. I specialize in individual and couples therapy, working with trauma, attachment patterns, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the patterns that underlie them. I am direct, honest, and collaborative. You'll get:

  • Clear, respectful feedback about patterns I'm observing
  • Practical tools you can use immediately
  • Understanding of the deeper beliefs and patterns underneath surface struggles
  • Accountability balanced with compassion
  • Respect for your pace, with gentle pushes toward growth

WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR WORK

You can expect:

  • A safe, non-judgmental space to be fully honest
  • To understand the roots of what's happening, not just the symptoms
  • Practical skills and strategies you can use between sessions
  • Deeper insight into your patterns and what drives them
  • To be challenged respectfully

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.

I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.

Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.

I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Felician University. With a deep commitment to supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I work with clients navigating relationship issues, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, aging, phase-of-life transitions, career aspirations and changes, and parental challenges. In my therapy sessions, I create a safe and nurturing environment where every individual is welcome and valued. I understand that seeking support is a personal and sometimes vulnerable experience, so I prioritize warmth, respect, and openness. My approach is rooted in compassion, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they explore their thoughts and emotions. No matter their background or experiences, they can trust that therapy will be a space of acceptance, understanding, and growth.

As a board-certified Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Licensed Social Worker, I believe it is imperative to treat co-occurring diagnosis simultaneously. Reaching out for help can be difficult, so congratulations for taking the first step! I've worked primarily in the field of addiction for six years, licensed for four. In the last year, I have shifted my focus on mental health and working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety and depression.
