About Molly

Molly Techau is a licensed counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and depression. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency. Molly speaks plainly and meets people where they are in the moment.

Her path to counseling began after a personal loss and her own experience with grief. That experience led her to train and shift into counseling work. She brings seven years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

Molly uses a collaborative style in sessions. She listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions are tailored to what an individual needs, with gentle challenges when those will help progress. She focuses on communication, mood management, grief work, and eating-related concerns when they come up.

She works with preteens, teens, young adults, and adults starting at age 12. Molly values being present and nonjudgmental while people sort through hard things. Outside of work she enjoys running, leading Bible study, mentoring, journaling, and spending time with her husband and their large dogs.

People who choose Molly often find practical next steps and a calm guiding presence. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and more manageable daily routines.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Many of the approaches used in counseling are about practical skills and new ways of thinking. Cognitive techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence; this can reduce worry and lift mood. Skills-based work on communication focuses on small changes in how someone expresses needs and listens, which can ease conflict and misunderstandings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made, so sessions stay focused and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, fitting a session into a lunch break, or choosing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care while relocating within the same licensing region. Discussing practical needs ahead of time helps shape a plan that fits daily life.
