About Molly
Molly Techau is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and depression. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, and codependency. Molly works with individuals ages 12 and up and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Her path to counseling began after a personal loss and her own experience in therapy. That experience shaped how she sits with people now - calm, present, and nonjudgmental. She quickly shifted her career to counseling and has practiced for seven years.
Molly holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential and the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, listed as LMFT and LPCC. She practices in Kentucky and uses a collaborative style that invites clients to set goals together. Sessions are adapted to each person's needs and pace.
In sessions she talks through relationships, communication problems, mood management, grief, and eating concerns. She aims to notice patterns that cause pain and to try small, doable changes. Clients can expect a mix of supportive listening and gentle challenges toward their goals.
Outside of work she enjoys running, leading a Bible study, writing, mentoring, and time with her husband and their four large dogs. She values both active adventure and quiet moments of journaling with coffee.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Many of the techniques Molly uses come from well-established, evidence-based approaches. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and behavior then practicing small new responses to change those patterns. This helps with codependency, communication problems, and control issues. Another approach emphasizes processing grief and difficult emotions through supportive conversation and gradual exposure to painful topics so grief and loss feel more manageable.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
For practical session details, confirm current options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, whether someone needs a shorter check-in between commitments or wants to avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions during breaks, after school, or from a different part of the state, helping therapy fit around daily routines rather than the other way around.
