How her approaches translate to online care
Molly blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for building trust and working through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense moods and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is often part of the first weeks of therapy. Molly works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking. Ask the therapist which session and messaging options are currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow brief check-ins through messaging, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between commitments. Different approaches also shape online work - CBT or DBT often include homework and brief tools that fit well with remote sessions, while client-centered conversation helps process choices and next steps.
