About John
John Molden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, career struggles, relationship concerns, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses guilt and shame alongside issues like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and life transitions.
He uses direct, conversational work in sessions. He listens and then helps people sort specific problems into manageable steps. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new skills, or clarifying values and goals for the next steps in life.
His approach draws on several established methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered listening, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods are used to help with emotion regulation, difficult memories, and changing patterns that keep someone stuck.
Sessions focus on practical strategies and thoughtful reflection. People who want both concrete tools and space to make sense of past events may find this approach useful. The work is collaborative and adjusted as needs change.
John works in Georgia and sees people who speak English. If you are thinking about starting, make sure to confirm the current session options before booking so they match your schedule and location.
How John’s approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck in avoidance or self-criticism.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test and reshape unhelpful thinking. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and self-critical thinking patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy brings attention to patterns that developed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current relationships and self-view. It can be useful when past relationships contribute to shame or trust issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. That process is collaborative, not fixed from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone choose options that reduce time spent traveling. Discussing practical preferences up front helps match the structure of sessions to everyday life.
