How her approaches translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and settle the body. It can help with anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions by encouraging short exercises and present-moment awareness during daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. It is practical and task-oriented, often involving short home exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting for depression, anxiety, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Morse works collaboratively to weigh your goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together she and the client try methods and adjust them over time to match needs and pace.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions offer flexibility, and live chat or text-based messaging provide quick check-ins and written reflections. These options let people practice skills between meetings and maintain steady contact while juggling parenting, work, or medical care.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
