About Molly

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps adults and adolescents manage strong emotions and life stress. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their concerns and build better daily coping skills.

Molly listens carefully to each person's story and focuses on practical steps that can improve mood and relationships. She offers hands-on problem solving, stress management techniques, and tools to strengthen self-esteem. Anger and difficult reactions are addressed alongside anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction concerns.

Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral exercises to change unhelpful thinking, motivational interviewing to build readiness for change, and dialectical strategies for managing intense feelings. She blends these with a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals front and center.

Molly aims to help people make steady progress toward clearer goals. She works with clients to set realistic steps and practices that fit into everyday life. Sessions focus on skill building, mood enhancement, and practical ways to handle conflict or stress.

With ten years of experience and a focus on thoughtful listening, Molly supports personal growth and healing. She collaborates with each person to determine the best course of action and adjusts the plan as needs change.

How these approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anger, anxiety, and stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions teach practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and change reactions, useful for mood, sleep, and relationship issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and better communication when feelings run high.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That shared testing of methods helps find what fits each person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what is available. When online sessions are an option, they can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and session length so therapy can fit into everyday life.
