About Molly

Molly Hagan is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life shifts.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical practice, she combines practical skills training with values-centered work to address immediate symptoms like panic and mood disturbance while also helping clients reconnect with purpose and self-compassion.

Her work often emphasizes building clearer communication, processing painful emotions such as guilt and shame, and reducing the isolation that can follow significant changes like separation or workplace stress. Molly draws from cognitive behavioral strategies alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based methods to create individualized plans that fit each person’s needs.

Clients can expect focused, goal-oriented sessions designed to teach coping tools, improve day-to-day functioning, and support ongoing growth. Molly provides care for concerns ranging from compassion fatigue and caregiver stress to social anxiety, trauma responses, and challenges with impulse control, always attending to the person behind the diagnosis.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, which can be useful for life transitions, stress, and persistent emotional pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. Molly will work together with clients to combine elements from CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused care as appropriate, so treatment reflects the client’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more convenient for clients balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limits. These options allow for flexible scheduling and continuity of care while supporting consistent use of therapeutic tools between meetings.
