About Molly

Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, and coping with life changes. Molly frames the work around each person's strengths and stories. She presents therapy as a collaborative process and offers steady support as people take difficult first steps.

Molly has eight years of professional experience in social work and clinical practice. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and handle everyday challenges. Sessions emphasize practical skills alongside space to talk about what feels stuck or overwhelming.

Her background includes work with attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and codependency. She also supports people facing separation, divorce, fertility concerns, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Molly draws on that variety to tailor her approach to each person’s situation.

People often come for help with family of origin problems, parenting strains, commitment worries, or feelings of emptiness. Molly addresses these concerns with direct conversation and skill-building. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and more workable choices in daily life.

Molly invites clients to name their goals and pace the work to fit those aims. She believes small, consistent steps lead to meaningful change. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to help with stress and anxiety. Cognitive-style approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new ways of thinking. These methods can reduce worry and make daily choices feel easier.

Skill-focused work targets coping strategies and emotional regulation. That includes learning practical steps to manage intense feelings, rebuild routines, and handle parenting or relationship moments with more calm. These skills are helpful for people dealing with life changes or caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing appointments between other responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or phone-based conversations when bandwidth is limited. Ask about available session types when arranging the first appointment to match logistics and goals.
