About Rebecca

Rebecca Morse is a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and anger. She also supports those facing major illness, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, ADHD, and career or parenting stress.

She draws on several evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral work and emotion-focused methods. Sessions include straightforward skill teaching, attention to how relationships affect feelings, and practical ways to manage frustration and impulsivity. Rebecca emphasizes learning to notice patterns and make small, doable changes.

Her background includes extensive clinical work across settings where she helped people manage loss, chronic illness, and caregiving strain. That experience informs how she talks through coping strategies and explores what matters most to each person. She pays attention to attachment issues and how early relationships shape current responses to anger and stress.

In sessions she uses acceptance and commitment ideas alongside behavior-focused tools to reduce reactivity and improve communication. She also incorporates parts of dialectical behavior therapy to teach distress tolerance and emotion regulation when those skills are helpful. The work is practical and focused on what people can use day to day.

Rebecca values clear goals and collaborative planning. She helps people set small steps for change, practice new responses, and check what works. People who want practical strategies for managing anger, improving sleep, or handling life transitions may find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them, which helps with anger that comes from feeling stuck or overwhelmed. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful reactions and reduce reactivity.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand how relationship patterns influence emotional responses. That approach looks at how earlier connections shape current ways of handling conflict and anger, and it helps people practice different ways of relating in real situations. Picking the right mix of approaches is part of the work; the therapist and client decide together what fits best based on goals and preferences.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions convenient for fitting therapy into a workday or home routine, allowing shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings without travel. Remote sessions make it easier to practice skills in everyday contexts and to follow up on progress between meetings.
