About Molly
Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps adults and adolescents navigate hard moments. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and life transitions so they can feel better about themselves and their lives.
Molly listens without judgment and creates a supportive space to talk through what's most pressing. She uses straightforward problem solving and teaches practical coping skills for stress, sleep, and mood. Conversations often include ways to build healthier routines and habits that reduce overwhelm.
Her work mixes several proven approaches. Molly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's priorities central. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
She also brings elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when those approaches match a person's goals. Those tools can help with emotion regulation, values-based decision making, and tolerance of hard feelings.
Molly has about 10 years of clinical experience and aims to tailor each plan to what a person wants to accomplish. She encourages small, practical steps and checks in on progress as goals evolve. If you are dealing with grief, addiction concerns, relationship strain, or midlife questions, she offers steady support while you make changes.

How therapy approaches shape online work
Molly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that translate well to online conversations. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. ACT emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in what the person wants. That means decisions about pace and focus happen together, and the therapist helps tailor tools to fit each person's goals and circumstances.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Molly aims to figure out what feels most useful based on your needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel time, or allow check-ins during a work break. It also lets people use written tools, worksheets, and real-time skill coaching during sessions to practice new behavior between meetings.
