About Molly

Molly Nevens is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on helping people build better coping skills and improve daily functioning.

Background and approach

She approaches care as a collaborative partnership, offering attentive listening and practical support to manage stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and a range of other life challenges. With ten years of clinical experience, Molly combines empathy with evidence-informed techniques to help clients pursue measurable progress and greater well-being.

Working with adolescents and adults, she blends several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and client-centered care. Molly emphasizes problem solving, stress management, sleep and mood improvement, and skills for healthier communication and self-esteem.

She helps clients set clear goals and tailors interventions so therapy stays practical and oriented toward change. Based in Massachusetts, Molly aims to create a nonjudgmental, respectful environment where clients can explore difficult topics such as addiction, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, parenting stress, chronic illness, attachment and relationship patterns, and compassion fatigue.

She encourages clients to participate actively in shaping treatment and supports progress at a pace that fits each person’s life and priorities.

Online approaches that build practical skills



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve day-to-day functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and practice mindful acceptance of difficult feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a supportive therapeutic relationship to help clients explore their concerns and develop self-directed solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies over time to make sure treatment stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or manage care from different locations within Massachusetts. These options allow clients to continue steady work on skills, coping strategies, and problem solving while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
