About Molly

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, mood struggles, and life changes. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Molly works with adults and adolescents. She offers a calm, supportive partnership where people can talk through worries, improve coping skills, and set realistic goals. She aims to help clients feel better about themselves and their lives through steady, collaborative work.

Her approach mixes well-known, practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy are woven into sessions as needed. That means sessions can include thinking through unhelpful patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and finding motivation to change behaviors.

Molly helps with many concerns related to mental health and life stress. Typical topics include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, addiction, eating concerns, parenting stress, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain. She also addresses relationship issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and self-esteem.

With ten years of experience, Molly focuses on practical problem solving and skill building. She works with each person to choose which methods to use and adapts plans as goals change. To start, she listens carefully, identifies priorities, and helps map a clear path forward.

How Molly’s approaches translate to online therapy

Molly often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, values-driven steps even when feelings are hard, which can help with motivation and coping during illness or major life changes. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Molly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose or combine methods and adjust the plan as progress is made so sessions stay relevant to the client's needs.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel when mobility or illness makes leaving home difficult. It also makes it possible to use written exercises, guided practice, and real-time problem solving from wherever a person is taking the session. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working toward their goals.
