About Ronnie
Ronnie Studie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes.

He brings a practical, collaborative style to sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, concrete steps a person can try between meetings. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps identify strategies to break those patterns.
Ronnie’s background includes clinical leadership and work in substance use treatment, including supporting people with co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and depression while also helping clients manage life transitions and recovery goals.
Sessions tend to combine talking through difficult memories and feelings with skills practice for coping and communication. He pays attention to how family history and current relationships affect emotion and behavior. For people dealing with guilt or shame related to past actions or identity, he helps clarify what matters now and what practical steps people can take to move forward.
People who choose him typically want a straightforward, respectful approach that focuses on problem solving and emotional understanding. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online work
Ronnie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend practical skill-building with talk therapy. For example, cognitive-based methods help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real evidence, which can reduce anxiety and self-blame. Trauma-focused methods involve pacing discussion of painful memories while teaching grounding and coping skills to manage strong emotions.He also integrates relapse-prevention and recovery-focused strategies for people dealing with substance use. These techniques focus on identifying triggers, planning responses, and building routines that support continued recovery and better coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is something he does together with each person. Early sessions are used to understand the problem, try methods that fit the person's preferences, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The work is collaborative and focuses on goals the client names.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the specific formats offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some options may also let people choose phone-only conversations when video would be difficult, though session options should be confirmed directly when arranging care.
