Molly Nevens, LICSW

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps adults and adolescents navigate stress, mood struggles, and major life changes. She aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what’s hard and find practical ways to feel better. Molly listens closely to each person’s story before suggesting next steps. She uses strengths-based problem solving and teaches coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and grief. She also supports people dealing with addiction, eating concerns, bipolar mood shifts, and relationship or communication issues. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods rather than one fixed model. That allows sessions to focus on real-life tools like activity planning, thought work, distress-tolerance skills, and brief goals to measure progress. Molly encourages skill practice between meetings to make changes last. Molly can also help with caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and aging and geriatric issues. She pays attention to how these life contexts affect daily routines, energy, and relationships. With ten years of experience, Molly works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals. She wants therapy to feel useful from the start and supports people who want practical ways to manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and increase emotional resilience.

Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Molly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often includes simple experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another method she draws on; it focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict in relationships. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress becomes clear. Clients and the therapist work together to pick strategies that match daily life and what the client wants to change. Session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care through transitions like relocation or changes in work hours. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic methods to real-world problems so the work feels practical and focused on what matters most.
