About Molly

Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, and challenges that come with life changes. Molly also lists work with attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and related concerns including fertility and family of origin issues.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She treats the client as the expert on their life while offering structure and guidance. In sessions she helps people name what feels overwhelming and figure out small, practical steps that free up energy for daily life.

Molly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address how people relate to themselves and others. That can include looking at patterns that keep someone stuck, testing new ways of interacting, and building coping tools for anxiety or big transitions. She pays attention to how past family experiences shape present choices and feelings.

When relationships are strained she helps people notice recurring dynamics and try different responses. With parenting or caregiver stress she focuses on realistic choices and boundary-setting to reduce exhaustion. For people carrying shame or guilt about past actions or identity, she works to separate what can be changed from what needs acceptance.

Her practice is in California and she conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to identify unhelpful patterns and test different ways of responding. That might involve tracking thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments between sessions, and practicing new communication skills to reduce relationship stress or anxiety.

Work that focuses on attachment looks at how early family experiences affect present relationships. In online sessions this often means reflecting on recurring dynamics, mapping relationship roles, and rehearsing alternative responses that feel safer to try. For body image or shame-related concerns, techniques aim to shift harsh self-judgment into more balanced self-observation and to build everyday coping tools.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time. The intention is to find practices that fit the person’s life and that they can use between sessions.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals offer online sessions that aim to be practical and accessible while focusing on the concerns the client brings.
