About Molly
Molly Newman is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota. She brings seven years of counseling experience and a longer history working across the mental health field.

Her work is grounded in a person-centered attitude. She treats each client as the expert on their life and aims to be a practical tool in their toolbox.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to emphasize strengths and build skills that fit each person's daily routine. Molly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships.
Mindfulness strategies and motivational interviewing are mixed in when they suit a client's goals. Clients often come for help with trauma, grief, addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and mood disorders such as bipolar. Molly also supports people who identify as LGBT and those coping with the aftermath of abuse.
Her approach is straightforward and solution-minded. She works with clients to set clear goals and practice small, doable steps between sessions. People looking for a practical, collaborative counselor who focuses on skill-building may find her style helpful.
How practical approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them use their own strengths to make changes, which can work well over video or messaging when someone needs flexibility.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. This method is goal-oriented and fits well with short exercises between sessions, whether those are sent by chat or reviewed on a video call.
Emotionally-focused approaches help people notice patterns in relationships and shift how they respond when emotions run high. Online sessions can support this work by offering focused conversations and follow-up practice tailored to a client's daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different formats. Choices can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy makes regular meetings easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat helps for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and reminders. These options give flexibility and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.
