About Rebecca

Rebecca Morse, LICSW, LCSW, helps people who are managing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She also supports those coping with self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and life changes such as career transitions or separation. Rebecca draws on 15 years of clinical experience in Massachusetts to meet practical needs and offer steady guidance.

She focuses on building compassionate self-awareness as a foundation for change. In sessions she listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. She uses hands-on tools to manage emotions, reduce distress, and improve day-to-day functioning rather than relying on jargon.

Rebecca brings attention to how relationships shape what people feel about themselves. Attachment-based ideas inform her work, and she helps clients untangle patterns that affect trust, boundaries, and communication. That emphasis is useful for issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, and communication problems.

She also incorporates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address difficult thoughts and to build practical coping skills. Dialectical behavior therapy skills appear when emotion regulation or impulsivity are a focus. These methods are used alongside a client-centered stance that keeps each person’s goals central.

Rebecca has particular experience with caregiving stress, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, first responder issues, and challenges linked to body image and trauma. She welcomes the chance to hear each person’s story and work collaboratively toward clearer routines and more manageable days.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants to make life changes despite painful feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practicing new ways of reacting to reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and helps people develop healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match a schedule. It can also make some skill practice more convenient, such as using worksheets or doing brief emotion-regulation exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and tools to suit someone’s routine and goals.
