About Molly

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, mood, and life changes. She listens carefully and guides clients toward practical steps that can improve day-to-day functioning and well-being. Her tone is supportive and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help people feel better about themselves and their lives.

Molly uses a mix of therapy methods tailored to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy to address specific goals.

Background and approach

Sessions include problem solving, learning coping skills, and practicing stress management techniques. She helps people with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, eating issues, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, and low self-esteem. Additional areas she addresses include attachment challenges, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.

For many clients the work focuses on concrete changes: managing symptoms, improving coping, and setting achievable goals. Molly collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Her aim is practical progress rather than labels or jargon.

Based in Massachusetts, Molly brings ten years of experience to her clinical work. She invites people to begin at their own pace and supports gradual steps toward improved mood, relationships, and daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to steps that move life in a meaningful direction, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, often helping with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood regulation.

Molly treats therapy as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle short-term needs like coping skills, and keep work moving forward between appointments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
