About Kelly
Kelly Morse is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on family concerns, grief, career questions, and coping with life changes. Kelly also addresses compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, eating concerns, parenting, self-esteem, and depression.
She works with people who are dealing with loss, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and shifts that come with midlife or changing household dynamics. Kelly lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas and can help people think through merging routines, loyalty conflicts, and co-parenting questions. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical.
Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. That means conversations that center the person’s priorities, steps to test what changes help, and short-term tools to solve immediate problems. She encourages clients to build on strengths they already have.
In sessions she listens for concrete goals and then helps identify small, doable steps. People can expect a mix of talking, planning, and homework suggestions to try between meetings. The emphasis is on what changes are realistic for daily life.
Kelly’s background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and caregiver stress. Her approach is practical and focused on helping people regain clearer routines, reduce overwhelm, and improve communication within their households.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, understanding your perspective, and shaping the work around what matters most to you.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to practice alternative ways of responding. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving within family and work life.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what can change now. It is often used for short-term goals like improving communication, adjusting routines in a blended household, or managing a caregiving schedule.
Deciding which approach to use will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your concerns, and adjust the plan based on what works. The intent is to find tools and routines that fit your daily life rather than impose a rigid program.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful if video is difficult, while video sessions let you use visual cues during conversation. Work with the therapist to choose the format that best matches your schedule and needs.
