About Molly
Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She brings eight years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. Molly focuses on everyday problems like relationship tensions, family conflict, and parenting strain so people can feel steadier in their daily lives.
Molly believes each person knows their own story best. She looks for strengths people already have and builds on them. Sessions are practical and straightforward, aimed at small, doable changes rather than big, overnight fixes.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on managing life transitions and the stress they bring. That includes separation and divorce, shifts in family roles, fertility-related stress, and recovery from disruptive events. She also addresses attachment concerns, codependency, and issues around body image.
Molly has experience supporting people affected by caregiver stress, domestic violence, and family-of-origin problems. She is familiar with challenges related to autism and Asperger Syndrome as they affect relationships and daily routines. This background helps her tailor concrete strategies to each person’s situation.
In sessions she listens, helps set realistic goals, and practices skills together that can be used between meetings. People work at a pace that fits their life. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more reliable routines to reduce anxiety and stress.
Therapeutic techniques and online access
Many of Molly’s approaches focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. One common method teaches skills for managing stress and anxious thoughts through step-by-step exercises that can be practiced between sessions. These exercises help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses in real life.Another approach emphasizes improving relationship patterns and attachment concerns by identifying how past experiences affect current reactions. This work often involves learning clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries so interactions feel less triggering and more predictable.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Molly works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made. That means trying things, checking what works, and changing course when needed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel, while phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, asking questions between sessions, or keeping therapy going when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on stress and anxiety from wherever someone is located in California.
