About Molly
Molly Dehrey-Buckman uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family challenges, and parenting concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and works from a strengths-based view. Molly keeps sessions practical and focused on small, useful steps you can try between meetings.
Molly has eight years of professional experience in California. She has worked with people facing major life changes and with families trying to improve communication.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting those dealing with attachment issues, caregiver stress, grief from separation or divorce, and fertility-related concerns. In a typical visit she listens to what matters most and helps set clear, realistic goals. She avoids jargon and explains options in plain language.
Together clients and Molly decide which strategies to use and how to measure progress. She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, body image struggles, codependency, commitment worries, and coping after disasters. Molly addresses family of origin issues, domestic violence impacts, and mood regulation challenges like Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.
Molly offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit busy lives. She asks newcomers to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their timing and needs.
Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support
Many clients find structured, evidence-based methods useful when tackling stress, anxiety, family conflict, or parenting questions. One common approach Molly uses focuses on skills training and behavioral strategies that teach clear communication, emotion regulation, and problem-solving. These techniques help with day-to-day family interactions and parenting routines.Another approach emphasizes identifying strengths and building on them. This strength-based work looks at what already goes well in a family or individual life and uses those patterns to create small, doable changes. It can be helpful for coping with life transitions, caregiver stress, and relationship strain.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with clients to choose which methods feel most helpful. Goals, preferences, and what is happening at home guide those decisions so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. These options allow clients to meet from home, keep continuity during busy periods, and use different formats for check-ins or focused work. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of approaches and formats to each person's needs and routine.
