Mollie Baker , LCSW

Mollie Baker is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and issues around self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, career changes, and life transitions. Mollie lists a focus on women’s issues and welcomes conversations about body image, fertility, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and cancer-related concerns.

Mollie uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. She listens first and helps people name what matters most. From there she works with clients to try practical tools and track what makes a difference week to week.

Her clinical work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices. In practice this looks like goal-focused conversations, learning skills to shift unhelpful thinking, guided relaxation or imagery when helpful, and trauma-focused processing as appropriate.

Mollie holds a LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and brings five years of clinical experience. She practices from Oregon and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Mollie aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can try new coping strategies and build on their strengths. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.

How Mollie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. Online sessions use open questions and reflective listening to help people clarify goals and notice what matters. This approach helps with stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. In online sessions, Mollie might guide clients through simple worksheets, thought records, or behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that supports processing upsetting memories. When used online it involves structured phases, guided attention exercises, and careful pacing to help reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.

Mollie treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try techniques together, and adjust the plan over time. The aim is to find methods that fit the person's needs and daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible options: video calls for face-to-face work, phone sessions when bandwidth is low, live chat for brief check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while still practicing skills and processing difficult experiences.
