Molly Nevens, LICSW

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps adults and adolescents manage stress, anxiety, mood, and life changes. She uses a direct, compassionate approach so people feel heard and understood. Molly focuses on practical coping skills and short-term problem solving to ease day-to-day strain.

In sessions she listens closely and helps you make small changes that add up. She offers strategies for stress management, sleep problems, substance use concerns, eating and body-image worries, and symptoms of depression or bipolar disorder. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship or communication problems.

Molly blends several therapy styles rather than using a single method. Her practice incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought and behavior patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, Motivational Interviewing to support change, Client-Centered techniques to follow the client's lead, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when appropriate.

She draws on ten years of clinical experience in Massachusetts and brings a straightforward, collaborative attitude to each session. Molly helps set clear, achievable goals and checks in about progress so adjustments can be made.

People working with Molly can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through challenges. She aims to help clients build skills that improve daily functioning and overall well-being.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, useful for worry, low mood, sleep problems, and some kinds of addiction-related behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the problem at hand and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to keep momentum between appointments. The focus remains on concrete skills and regular steps toward goals, whether starting work on anxiety, trauma recovery, or coping with chronic pain.
