About Molly
Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for parents and people facing family stress. She draws on eight years of experience helping clients handle anxiety, relationship strain, and the everyday pressures of parenting. Molly keeps language simple and sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
Her approach centers on listening first and then working together to find steps that fit real life.
Background and approach
She treats parenting concerns as part of a person's whole story, including family of origin issues, separation or divorce, and caregiver stress. She also addresses related struggles like body image, attachment issues, codependency, and fertility worries. Molly has supported people managing major life changes and the emotional aftermath of disasters and domestic violence.
She works with symptoms such as disruptive mood patterns and dependent personality traits by breaking problems into manageable parts. Sessions aim to build coping skills and clearer communication within important relationships. Molly offers several session formats to fit busy schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She practices in California and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people identify strengths, make small changes that add up, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.

Practical approaches and online care for parenting stress
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and behavior changes. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and managing anxiety through simple, repeatable strategies that help with day-to-day stress and parenting challenges. Another approach focuses on communication and attachment patterns, helping people notice how past relationships affect current family interactions and try different ways of relating.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process where options are tried and adjusted based on what helps you move forward.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face time for deeper conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat gives quick check-ins or homework support, and text-based messaging lets you share thoughts between sessions. These formats increase flexibility so parents and busy people can connect in ways that match their schedules and needs.
