About Mollie

Mollie Baker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Oregon who works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also addresses a broad range of related areas including body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, domestic violence, fertility and cancer-related concerns, isolation and loneliness, and forgiveness and shame. Her style emphasizes collaboration and a strengths-based perspective, helping clients connect with their own resources to create meaningful change.

Mollie draws from client-centered practices alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused methods such as EMDR, as well as mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools when appropriate. With five years of clinical experience, she frames treatment as a cooperative process and tailors interventions to each person’s goals and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Several of Mollie’s approaches can translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management through practical skills and goal-oriented exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting the client’s own problem-solving, creating space for people to explore values and build self-directed change. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed method that targets distressing memories and their emotional impact through structured procedures that can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to initial strategies, and will adjust methods over time to find what best supports each person’s needs. That partnership helps ensure the plan reflects both clinical tools and the client’s priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across different routines. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage sessions around work or caregiving, and use therapeutic tools in the context of everyday life.
