About Molly

Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She works with clients navigating major life changes and supports those trying to rebuild balance after difficult events. Her tone is straightforward and supportive, aimed at people who need practical help now.

She sees each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can make daily life easier. Molly listens for what matters most and helps clients try new ways of handling hard moments.

Her clinical background includes eight years of professional experience in mental health work in California. That experience has given her a broad view of common problems people bring to therapy, from family conflict to fertility concerns and shifts in relationships. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape conversations and interventions.

Molly often helps people manage attachment worries, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and codependency patterns. She also supports those coping with the emotional effects of disasters or sudden crises, and people facing divorce, separation, or domestic violence aftermath.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Molly helps clients clarify what they want to change, then creates a plan to get there. The work is paced to match each person’s needs and life demands.

How evidence-based therapy can help online

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on specific problems and teach practical skills. One common approach involves structured conversations that identify patterns of thinking and behavior, then practice new responses to reduce anxiety and stress. Another approach focuses on improving attachment and relationship patterns by looking at how people relate to others and trying different ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, and together they choose methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps in a person’s life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to follow a treatment plan, check in during life transitions, and continue care after a disruptive event or disaster when getting to an office may be difficult.
