About Rebecca

Rebecca Morse is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to address concerns such as addictions, sleep difficulties, ADHD, parenting challenges, career stress, and body image. Her practice also addresses complex themes like attachment and abandonment, chronic illness and caregiving strain, hospice and end-of-life needs, and issues tied to guilt, shame, and impulsivity.

Her style centers on building compassionate self-awareness and practical skills that people can use in everyday life. Rebecca integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based, and Client-Centered methods to tailor work to each person’s situation.

She emphasizes strengthening relationships with oneself and others while offering tools for emotion regulation, communication, and coping. Based in Massachusetts, Rebecca approaches therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented, inviting clients to share their stories and explore changes at a manageable pace.

She supports people coping with major illness, grief, career shifts, and other transitions, and aims to help them develop sustainable habits for wellbeing and connection.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Rebecca commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete strategies for mood, sleep, and anxiety management. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes values-guided action and accepting difficult emotions rather than fighting them. ACT can be useful for people facing grief, chronic illness, or ongoing stress who want to build a meaningful life alongside discomfort.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with clients to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts interventions as therapy progresses to ensure the work feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, support continuity during life changes, and allow clients to practice techniques in the settings where they live and work.
