Molly Nevens, LICSW

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps adults and adolescents manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, and life changes. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. Parents reading this will find straightforward language and clear goals for improving sleep, coping, and self-esteem.

Molly uses a mix of approaches and tailors them to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and handle difficult feelings without getting stuck.

Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Molly helps people set small, achievable steps and practices skills between meetings. She also uses motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment when change feels hard.

Her background includes a decade of clinical experience and work with a wide range of concerns, from trauma and grief to addictions and chronic illness. That experience informs a practical style focused on coping, communication, and problem solving.

Molly combines skills from several methods so therapy fits the person, not the other way around. She helps people prioritize what matters, try specific strategies, and adjust plans as needed. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better day-to-day functioning.

Online approaches and how they help

CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, body image, and everyday stress by teaching concrete skills to change how people think and act.

ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action. It helps people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward what matters, which can be useful for grief, chronic illness, and ongoing mood fluctuations.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. It gives people space to feel heard and clarify goals before trying specific techniques.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, check progress, and adjust plans so sessions match the person’s needs.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing support, quick strategy exchanges, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and family life while still using CBT, ACT, and client-centered methods.
