About Mollie

Mollie Baker is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She uses straightforward conversation to help people identify strengths and make small, workable changes. Sessions aim to feel respectful and down-to-earth so clients can speak honestly and problem solve together.

She practices with a focus on helping adults navigate life changes, work pressure, body image and self-esteem, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Mollie also addresses issues such as sleep problems, anger, intimacy-related concerns, and the emotional effects of medical situations like cancer or fertility struggles. Mollie draws from several well-known methods to tailor support to each person. She uses client-centered skills to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. When trauma is present she can use EMDR to help relieve distress tied to painful memories. Her credential is LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and she practices in Oregon.

Mollie has five years of clinical experience and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings as well as community development roles internationally. That mix informs a practical, compassionate style. Sessions are collaborative.

Mollie helps clients set clear, realistic goals and tries techniques that fit the person’s needs and comfort level. She encourages small steps, regular check-ins, and adjustments so work in therapy feels useful and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills for noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and daily stress.

Mollie believes the right approach is decided together. During early sessions she will talk with the client about needs, goals, and comfort with different methods, then tailor techniques accordingly. That collaborative process helps make sure work in therapy fits the person and their life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. The range of options also allows using different ways to check in between longer sessions, so support can be consistent and adaptable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
