Molly Dehrey-Buckman, LCSW

Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, and major life changes. She works from a strengths-based view and treats each person as an expert on their own story. Molly emphasizes practical steps people can use right away and offers steady support through difficult moments.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address attachment concerns, family conflict, and caregiver stress. Molly has eight years of professional experience and practices in California as an LCSW. She focuses on making therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to the individual and helps build clear, realistic goals. She supports people coping with autism and Asperger syndrome related challenges, body image distress, codependency, and issues tied to fertility and separation. Her work also covers trauma-related and mood concerns such as domestic violence, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and feelings of emptiness.

Molly pays attention to family of origin issues and to the strain that caregiving roles can create. She helps people identify patterns, set boundaries, and develop coping skills. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase the capacity to manage day-to-day demands.

Choosing to start therapy is a step toward change, and Molly offers collaborative guidance throughout the process. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on building skills and shifting patterns. One common evidence-based technique helps people learn practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. These methods are useful for everyday stress and life transitions.

Another approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns by looking at how early experiences shape current responses. This helps people understand recurring conflicts, improve communication, and set healthier boundaries in close relationships and caregiving roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will check what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy moves forward.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and letting people join from a familiar setting. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills between appointments.
