Molly Dehrey-Buckman, LCSW

Molly Dehrey-Buckman is a California-licensed LCSW with eight years of clinical experience supporting adults and families through life transitions and relationship challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a professional credential that denotes advanced social work training and clinical experience - she focuses on stress and anxiety, family and relationship concerns, parenting difficulties, and the day-to-day work of coping with change.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, centering the client as the expert of their own story while offering practical guidance and compassionate support. Molly draws on evidence-informed techniques tailored to each person's needs to help reduce distress, improve communication, and build coping skills that fit real life.

Taking the first step toward greater well-being can feel daunting, and Molly treats that step with respect and encouragement. She works collaboratively with clients to set clear goals, explore patterns that get in the way, and identify practical strategies for more fulfilling relationships and a steadier sense of self.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

In her work Molly emphasizes attachment-informed approaches that explore how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings, behavior, and connection. This kind of work can help people understand relationship dynamics, improve communication, and address attachment-related concerns.

She also centers practical, skills-focused interventions to address stress and anxiety, teaching concrete coping strategies, emotion regulation techniques, and problem-solving methods that people can apply in daily life. These evidence-informed techniques aim to reduce distress and increase resilience during transitions and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Molly collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to adjust methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent care around busy schedules and life demands. These options provide flexibility for session format and timing, allowing clients to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from locations that suit them while maintaining the supportive relationship with a licensed professional.
