About Molly

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 10 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and difficulties like trauma, grief, and sleep problems. Molly also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Molly listens and works collaboratively to identify practical steps that fit a person’s life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and solution-focused ideas. Sessions focus on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and habits, learning coping skills, and practicing concrete behavior changes.

Her approach emphasizes clear goal setting and problem solving. Molly introduces stress-management techniques, mood-monitoring, and skills for emotion regulation. She offers structured exercises and short-term strategies when those are helpful, plus space for deeper exploration when needed.

Molly works with adults and adolescents and will discuss which methods suit each person. She pays attention to life transitions, caregiver stress, body image and identity concerns, attachment and relationship patterns, and co-occurring issues like chronic illness or substance use.

People who choose her often want practical, hands-on work they can try between sessions. To begin, she guides clients through a plan of action and checks progress regularly to adjust techniques as needed.

How Molly uses CBT, ACT and client-centered work online

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It is practical work aimed at changing habits that keep stress and low mood going, and it can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood regulation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting pulled by them and clarifying values to guide action. It can help people who feel stuck by reconnecting daily choices to what matters to them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s experience directs the pace and goals of work.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that make sense together. Techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn’t.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people use sessions to practice skills between meetings and review progress with their clinician to keep work focused and practical.
