Rick Miller, LPC

Rick Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 30 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, teens, and families through a wide range of concerns. He completed seminary training and later pursued additional coursework to earn his LPC credential, bringing both educational depth and decades of clinical practice to his work. Drawing on a background that includes working with youth in a behavioral hospital and providing outpatient services for adults and adolescents, he has particular experience with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, parenting challenges, intimacy and relationship issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD, with an additional focus on forgiveness.

His approach is insight oriented and client centered, helping people identify underlying patterns and develop practical strategies for change. He integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Having navigated a difficult childhood himself, he brings empathy and an understanding of how early experiences shape current struggles, and he emphasizes respect, clear communication, and calm interaction as foundations for healthy relationships. When individuals gain clearer self-understanding and clarify their goals, he aims to make the counseling process both meaningful and effective.
