Mollie Baker, LCSW

Mollie Baker is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Oregon with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and brings a trauma-sensitive, strengths-based approach to therapy that aims to help people reconnect with their inner resources and increase day-to-day ease and satisfaction. Mollie emphasizes collaboration, tailoring each plan to the individual so that interventions fit the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Her specialties include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related challenges, sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, coping with life changes, and coaching. Additional focus areas include body image, cancer-related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, disaster-related coping, domestic violence, family of origin dynamics, fertility concerns, first responder issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and jealousy. Mollie works in English and supports adults seeking practical tools and reflective exploration to move toward meaningful change.

Mollie integrates client-centered care with evidence-informed methods and the client’s own goals to build an individualized path forward. Her toolkit includes client-centered work alongside cognitive-behavioral strategies, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based practices, applied with attention to each person’s preferences and pace. She invites prospective clients to explore whether her collaborative style aligns with their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the client’s goals guide the work. It helps people build self-awareness, clarify values, and make choices that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that can help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma-related symptoms are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mollie uses a collaborative stance to determine what fits best for each client. She combines methods when useful and adjusts pace and techniques according to the client's needs, goals, and preferences so therapy remains person-centered and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and mobility needs, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support even when in-person visits are not possible. For many people, virtual formats improve access and help maintain momentum between sessions.
