How Kathleen works
That background shapes a calm, experienced presence in sessions. Her practical approach focuses on problem solving, skill building, and making meaning from hard events. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Mindfulness helps people notice the present moment and interrupt automatic reactions. Narrative work is part of her practice too; she helps people reorganize the stories they tell about themselves and their difficulties. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
In a typical session she listens first, then helps set concrete goals and small, doable steps. She can help with parenting stress, relationship problems, mood disorders such as bipolar, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving. The emphasis is on usable tools, clearer choices, and steady emotional support.
People who choose her can expect practical strategies, thoughtful questions, and respectful collaboration aimed at improving daily life and coping over time.

Online support options
Approach-focused care through online therapy
Dr. Morse uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress and grief. Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their struggles so problems feel less defining.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That collaborative process may combine techniques and shift over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls work well for full-session conversations. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging can support check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
