About Mollie
Mollie Baker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Oregon who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions. She works with adults to address trauma, self-esteem struggles, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to caregiving, chronic illness, or career change. Mollie takes a compassionate, down-to-earth approach in sessions.
She focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. Sessions aim to uncover each person’s strengths and build skills for day-to-day challenges.
Background and approach
Mollie combines client-centered listening with structured tools so people feel understood and get concrete ways to cope. Her style blends talk therapy with mindfulness and body-focused techniques when helpful. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and EMDR to support trauma processing when it fits a person’s goals.
Hypnotherapy and motivational techniques are available as additional options. Mollie has five years of clinical experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has also done international community development work. Her LCSW credential is listed as OR LCSW and reflects practice in Oregon.
She prefers a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. Sessions are paced to match a person’s readiness, and treatment plans are adjusted over time. Mollie encourages people to notice small gains and to use practical tools between meetings to build lasting change.

How Mollie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps identify strengths to use when stress, anger, or relationship problems arise.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mollie helps people notice unhelpful thinking, test new ways of responding, and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or anger spikes.
EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is used when people want focused work on traumatic memories. It involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of painful images and feelings and can be incorporated when trauma is a central concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mollie will discuss options and tailor the plan to a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and tone, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick reflections or ongoing support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and preferences.
