Molly Techau, LMFT, LPCC - Therapist in Kentucky

About Molly

Molly Techau is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor in Kentucky who focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as common struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a warm, steady presence to sessions.

Molly aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for parents and caregivers juggling daily demands. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Sessions are tailored to what each person or family needs, with gentle challenges when they help move things forward. Molly values honesty, compassion, and straightforward problem-solving.

Her path to counseling began after personal losses and a period of her own grief work. That experience shaped how she supports others through hard transitions and relationship strain. She draws on those lived insights alongside clinical training to guide conversations about communication, boundaries, and coping skills.

Molly works with many concerns tied to family life, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin patterns. She also addresses issues like body image, disordered eating, codependency, control and impulsivity, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Outside of work she lives in Kentucky with her husband and four large dogs.

She enjoys running, reading, journaling, leading Bible study, and spending time with family and friends. Her approach aims to help people find steady ground and clearer next steps during difficult seasons.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Many of Molly's work habits draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that fit well online. One common approach she uses focuses on practical coping skills and emotion regulation - teaching doable strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress in day-to-day life. This helps when clients need concrete tools to handle parenting stress and mood swings.

Another approach emphasizes communication skills and boundary work. That involves practicing how to speak clearly, set limits, and repair rifts in relationships. It is useful for dealing with blended family dynamics, codependency, and recurring family conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Molly works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors methods over time so sessions stay focused and relevant to what is happening at home.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversations without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, timely check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to blend therapy into a packed schedule and keep momentum on progress.
