Ellie Moran, LPC

Sometimes, life doesn’t look the way we expected it to. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. Maybe your child is struggling with emotions or behavior, you’re navigating a major life transition, or you’re carrying experiences that have been difficult to process on your own. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Therapy can be a place to feel heard, understood, and supported as you find your way forward.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with a background in school-based counseling. I work with individuals ages 3 and up, as well as families, and especially enjoy supporting children, adolescents, women, and families through challenging seasons of life. I have a special interest in supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety and panic disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD and trauma, and neurodiversity. I also welcome clients experiencing prenatal and postpartum concerns, infertility, divorce and blended-family dynamics, foster care and adoption, domestic violence, and other family and relationship concerns.

My Approach:

I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My approach draws primarily from person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy, while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals.

With children and adolescents, I focus on creating a comfortable environment where they can express themselves, build emotional awareness, develop coping skills, and feel more confident navigating the challenges they face. I also enjoy working with parents and families to strengthen communication and relationships.

For adults, therapy can be a space to process difficult experiences, navigate life transitions, manage overwhelming emotions, and reconnect with the person you want to be. Whether you’re adjusting to parenthood, experiencing infertility, working through trauma, navigating divorce or blended-family dynamics, or struggling with anxiety or depression, you don’t have to navigate it alone. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can recognize your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

A Safe Place to Begin: 

You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before reaching out. Sometimes, taking the first step simply means acknowledging that things feel difficult and that you’d like some support. If you’re considering therapy for yourself, your child, or your family, I would be honored to connect with you and see if we might be a good fit.
