How Mollie’s Therapies Work Online

Mollie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches simple skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities so the work feels relevant and manageable.

She also offers EMDR for trauma-related concerns when it seems appropriate. EMDR involves guided eye movements or similar methods to help process upsetting memories and reduce their intensity over time. Which approaches are used is decided together based on your goals, history, and what feels right in sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflections, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep regular contact between sessions.
