About Molly

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people who are struggling with sleep, stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. She centers short, clear conversations on what matters most to each person. Molly aims to make sessions practical and focused so people can try small changes between meetings.

She listens without judgment and works alongside clients to untangle day-to-day problems. Sessions often include planning for better coping, practicing stress management techniques, and building skills to improve mood and sleep. Molly meets people where they are and tailors steps to fit real life.

With ten years of experience, Molly blends several approaches rather than relying on a single method. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide action. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those tools fit the concern.

Molly has experience supporting adults and adolescents with issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, eating concerns, trauma, grief, parenting strain, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also works with related challenges like body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, attachment concerns, and communication problems.

Her practice approach is collaborative and goal-minded. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Molly aims to help people make steady, manageable progress toward better rest and overall wellbeing.

How therapy methods shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, values-guided steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can help people who struggle with avoidance, chronic worry, or difficulties sticking to healthy routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve sleep and mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, and then decide collaboratively which methods to emphasize. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur, which can help transfer what is learned in sessions into real routines.
