About Molly
Molly Techau is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship and family concerns. She draws on personal experience with loss and healing to offer steady presence during difficult seasons. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel seen and guided toward clearer next steps.
After moving to Kentucky to pursue a Master of Divinity, Molly began her own grief work following the unexpected death of her father.
Background and approach
That experience shifted her path toward counseling and shaped how she listens to others. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a commitment to meeting people where they are. Molly uses a collaborative style in sessions.
She works with clients to set goals, then offers gentle challenges and practical tools to build new patterns. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and to the issues they bring, such as communication problems, mood management, and disordered eating. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, and family of origin problems.
Molly also supports people facing divorce, separation, guilt, shame, and impulsivity. She centers compassion while helping clients name small, actionable steps forward. Outside of work she lives in Kentucky with her husband and four large dogs.
She enjoys running, leading Bible study, mentoring, writing, and quiet moments journaling over a cup of coffee.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many people find structured therapeutic techniques helpful for anxiety and mood concerns. Cognitive approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce worry and improve mood. These methods are useful when anxious thinking and negative mood get in the way of daily life.Behavioral strategies concentrate on changing patterns by building small, consistent habits. That can include graded exposure to feared situations, behavior activation to lift mood, or setting clear routines to reduce stress and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust based on what works. Clients help shape the plan so it fits their needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit regular care into life without long commutes.
