About Molly

Molly Giannotta is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with a client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she draws on CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while using attachment-informed ideas to explore relational patterns and family dynamics. Her work also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to build emotion regulation and present-moment coping skills.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including ADHD, grief, anger, self-esteem, and relationship or family difficulties, as well as more specific areas like adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and fatherhood matters.

Molly has a background in child and adolescent work and has used expressive approaches when helpful, alongside trainings that inform her trauma-focused orientation. She combines therapeutic techniques with teaching experience to offer practical, developmentally informed support for clients facing complex stressors.

Molly accepts international clients and delivers services from Florida. She aims to collaborate with each person to tailor interventions to their goals and circumstances, offering flexible session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Molly commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationships shape feelings and relationship patterns, which can be especially useful for family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment-related struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Molly works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and then tailors a blend of techniques that fit those needs. She encourages clients to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time to stay aligned with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to arrange appointments around work, childcare, or travel. These formats allow consistent access to licensed professionals and permit different ways of engaging in therapy, from real-time conversation to ongoing text check-ins, which can support continuity of care and fit a range of lifestyles and schedules.
