About Molly

Molly Terry is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of practice. She focuses on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Molly aims to listen without judgment and to help people feel seen, heard, and respected as they work through difficult issues.

Molly builds therapy around the relationship. She meets people as equals and uses clear, practical listening and feedback. Together with each person she sets goals and adjusts them as life changes or new needs arise.

Her work draws on evidence-based techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered care, blended with trauma-focused ideas. Molly offers weekly tailored "therapy boosts" - short pieces of information and prompts to reflect on between sessions - to help maintain momentum outside the meeting time.

She communicates actively by message when that fits a person's style and needs. Molly says this ongoing contact can complement scheduled sessions and make progress feel more continuous.

Molly has experience helping with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, depression, mood concerns such as bipolar, addictions, grief, parenting strains, ADHD, and body image. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, adoption and abandonment themes, and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How trauma-informed, client-centered, and CBT techniques work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process difficult experiences and reduce their everyday impact. In practice this means gentle pacing, techniques to manage distress, and attention to what feels safe during sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; the therapist follows the person's lead and offers reflective listening to build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm session types before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Active messaging between sessions can provide timely reminders, homework prompts, or brief support that complements scheduled meetings. Ask about available options to pick what best fits daily life and therapy goals.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
