About Molly
Molly Giannotta is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who approaches therapy with clear, practical care. She uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive tools to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Molly brings nine years of experience in clinical work and teaching psychology.
She has a background working with adults, children, and adolescents and has focused on trauma since graduate school. That experience shapes how she responds to upsetting events and tough transitions.
Background and approach
In sessions she blends talk-based methods with hands-on options when helpful. She leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and uses attachment-based ideas to map how relationships affect feelings and behavior. Mindfulness exercises and dialectical behavior skills are also part of her toolkit when clients need emotion regulation or stress relief.
Molly also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and fatherhood issues. She addresses anger, grief, ADHD, communication problems, and the ripple effects of divorce or family-of-origin struggles. Her work is straightforward and easy to follow.
Molly spends time learning each person’s goals and then chooses practical steps that fit their life. She also draws on classroom experience teaching child psychology, which informs how she explains ideas and sets realistic goals.

Therapeutic approaches for parenting and stress online
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. In sessions this looks like mapping connection patterns and identifying ways to feel more supported in caregiving roles and close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice different responses. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that get in the way of parenting or daily life.Molly views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will listen to your goals and preferences, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process helps make changes feel manageable and realistic for busy parents.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets you share thoughts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and other demands while still using attachment and CBT tools to address parenting stress and emotional challenges.
