About Kelly
Kelly Morse is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts. She draws on three years of clinical experience to support people facing family concerns, grief, career shifts, and stress. She speaks English and offers sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
She prioritizes clear, practical conversations that help clients move forward one step at a time. In sessions she blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means she listens closely, then helps people test small changes and reframe unhelpful thoughts.
The work often focuses on realistic steps clients can try between sessions. Kelly has worked with issues such as parenting, family problems, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life matters.
Therapy with her tends to be practical and collaborative. She helps clients set clear goals and chooses methods that match their needs. Getting started begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist provides an accepting space and follows the client’s lead to help clarify what matters most. This approach can help with emotional concerns like grief or family stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT often includes short exercises to practice between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and small steps that move a person toward what they want. Sessions often identify past successes and build on them to make incremental progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will listen to your goals, discuss different methods, and tailor the work to fit your needs and preferences. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them as you go.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets busy. The variety of formats also allows people to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable for them.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
