About Molly
Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 10 years of experience based in Massachusetts. She focuses on young adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, coping with life changes, and issues around self-esteem and mood. Molly also helps people facing addictions, eating concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and sleep problems.
Molly listens and works with people directly to identify problems and practical next steps. She uses clear, goal-focused conversations to build coping skills and reduce overwhelming feelings. Sessions often include problem solving, stress management techniques, and tools to improve day-to-day mood and functioning.
Her approach blends several methods described in plain terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change.
Molly supports adults and adolescents and discusses options together to decide what will help most. She aims to match practical tools to everyday pressures like school, work, money, and relationships. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill practice, and gradual steps toward realistic goals.
She lists additional focus areas including attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image. In sessions she checks in about what matters most and adapts the work as needs shift. The initial steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when you feel stuck by offering concrete steps to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on linking thoughts, behaviors, and moods, and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that people often use when intense feelings get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Molly will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting over time rather than committing to a single method at the start.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when life is hectic. Some approaches use brief worksheets or in-session practice that translate well to remote meetings, and others benefit from regular weekly check-ins to build skills and track progress.
