About Molly
Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Molly also helps people cope with life changes and related struggles.
She approaches sessions as a place to talk through specific problems and build practical skills. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around someone else’s moods, and then helps clients try different ways of responding.
Molly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, reduce overwhelming stress, and clarify relationship needs. Work in session can include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing small behavior changes, and trying new communication strategies. She supports clients who are working through family of origin issues, attachment concerns, or the fallout from divorce and separation.
She also offers support around caregiving strain, fertility-related stress, body image worries, and challenges tied to autism spectrum traits. When safety issues like domestic violence are present, sessions focus on immediate coping and planning next steps that prioritize the person's wellbeing.
Molly describes clients as the experts in their own stories and emphasizes using existing strengths. She helps people take clear, manageable steps toward better boundaries, steadier moods, and more control over daily stressors.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Molly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behavior, and relationships. Cognitive-style approaches look at how unhelpful thinking keeps stress and anxiety going, and teach practical ways to test and change those thoughts. Behavioral work emphasizes small, doable actions such as practicing boundary statements or breaking tasks into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm.Attachment-informed ideas are also part of her work. These approaches help people notice relationship patterns that lead to people-pleasing or losing themselves in a relationship, and then practice different ways of relating that feel clearer and safer. These methods can help with parenting strain, family conflict, and recovering from breakup or separation.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to match techniques to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often find that remote work helps people keep continuity during life changes and caregiving demands without promising a particular format.
