“Have you been carrying a lot, but haven’t had a place to truly unpack it?” I offer a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, creating a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Sessions move at your pace, with a focus on understanding the root of what you’re experiencing—not just managing symptoms. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs and experiences. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and self-esteem. My work includes supporting adults from all walks of life, including veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, men and women, human trafficking victims, domestic violence victims, high-acuity clients, and those receiving care at different levels of intensity. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build effective coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

If anxiety keeps you stuck in your head, replaying conversations, avoiding situations, bracing for what could go wrong or if grief and a major life change have left you running on empty, you don't have to figure this out alone.
At Inclusion Online Therapy, we help adults across Florida move through anxiety, social anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions with fully virtual, holistic care you can reach from wherever you feel most safe and comfortable.
Our clients are often first-generation professionals, caregivers, and bicultural individuals who look high-achieving on the outside but feel exhausted, overthinking, and emotionally drained on the inside. If that sounds like you, you've found the right place.

I am an LCSW with 5+ years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and women's issues.

Hi, I’m Morgan Pierce, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor! My background includes years of supporting clients LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity and trauma, and I bring that same affirming, judgement-free lens to every person I work with. My goal as a therapist is for people to see themselves with compassion and clarity.
I created my own practice from a deep belief that every human being is capable of growth and transformation, no matter how stuck, lost, or broken they may feel.
In our time together, we may explore patterns that no longer serve you, process old wounds, and build tools for resilience. I view therapy as a collaborative journey — one that honors the most authentic version of yourself and your capacity to heal from within.

I’m a bilingual psychotherapist (English/Español) with extensive experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland and in Florida. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a Psychiatric Therapist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I’ve spent years helping people manage mood disorders and find greater stability.
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding an unpredictable roller-coaster. Many of the clients I work with want to better understand their symptoms, spot early warning signs, and create daily routines that steady the mind and body. Others are navigating depression, anxiety, or the toll that mood changes can take on careers, caregiving roles, and relationships. If you’re ready to turn insight into action, sleep better, fuel your body, and nurture healthier connections, I’m here to guide you.
It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.
