Molly Hagan, LCSW

Molly Hagan is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She works with adults who are dealing with workplace stress, social isolation, panic, and the fallout from relationship separations. Her approach is practical and caring, aimed at helping people feel steadier day to day.

In sessions Molly focuses on clear, doable skills. She helps people build better communication, cope with guilt and shame, and make decisions that match their values. Conversations often include ways to reduce panic, manage mood symptoms, and handle the stress of caregiving or busy work lives.

Molly uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness practices are used to slow down intense feelings. Trauma-focused work helps when past events keep showing up in daily life.

She brings four years of clinical experience in Florida and holds the LCSW credential, which she uses to guide treatment planning and practical next steps. Sessions are collaborative, with an emphasis on real-world change rather than lengthy analysis.

Molly aims to help people reconnect with a sense of purpose and self-compassion. Whether the concern is compassion fatigue, panic attacks, or the stress of a major life transition, she works with each client to set clear goals and build routines that support recovery.

How ACT, CBT, and trauma work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts and commit to practical steps toward a chosen life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this can mean doing short between-session experiments, tracking moods, and practicing new responses to anxiety or panic.

Trauma-focused work aims to reduce the ways past events interfere with current life. This approach uses pacing and grounding techniques to help people face and process distressing memories at a manageable speed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, history, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing skills between appointments simpler by using tools and worksheets discussed during sessions.
