About Molly

Molly Theurer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah. She brings 16 years of experience and a practical focus on everyday struggles that parents often face. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at people who need clear tools and calm guidance.

She uses a mix of therapies that fit the issue at hand. Molly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and the Gottman Method for relationship patterns.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles also shape her work. Molly’s background includes work in residential treatment centers, group homes, hospitals, and both online and in-person counseling. That variety has shaped her to be adaptable with different needs and schedules.

She focuses on practical skills alongside understanding what led someone to seek help. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing addiction, ADHD, body image issues, and complications related to adoption and foster care.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. Molly helps people set small, manageable steps and builds on progress over time. Communication and problem-solving are frequent areas of work, with attention to how patterns affect daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often helps with depression, anxiety, and compulsive patterns. The Gottman Method zeroes in on relationship patterns and communication, offering concrete exercises to improve how partners interact and solve problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process lets the client try tools and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy adds flexibility to that work. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions offer a simpler option when video is not convenient, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or coaching between sessions. These formats make scheduling easier and can help maintain momentum during busy or challenging times.

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.
