About Molly
Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family matters, parenting, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses family of origin issues and related challenges that keep people stuck in old patterns.
She approaches sessions believing clients know their own stories and strengths. Conversations center on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labeling or long lectures. Molly listens for recurring roles and expectations that come from the family someone grew up in and then looks for specific ways to change those patterns.
Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful habits, and trying new behavior in small, manageable ways. She helps people see how attachment and family history affect relationships and everyday decisions. Sessions can also focus on parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image, and issues connected to fertility or separation.
Her experience includes working with people affected by autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, commitment anxiety, and mood regulation concerns like Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. Molly also supports those coping after natural or human-caused disasters and people dealing with emptiness or dependent personality patterns.
She offers a straightforward, collaborative style. The emphasis is on practical change, clearer boundaries, and improved coping skills. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Molly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving daily coping. One common approach helps people identify repeated thoughts and behaviors, test them against real situations, and try new, more helpful responses. This method is often useful for anxiety, stress, and family-of-origin patterns.Another approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns by examining how early family roles shape expectations today. Work like this often looks at boundary setting, communication practice, and small behavior changes to shift long-standing roles within relationships. It can be helpful for parenting strain, commitment concerns, and relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match techniques to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different strategies and adjusting them based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and fewer barriers to keeping regular meetings. If you want to proceed, confirm the exact session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity while addressing family patterns and life changes.
