About Molly

Molly Giannotta is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, and coping with life changes.

She uses a client-centered stance combined with cognitive approaches in session. That means she listens first, then helps people notice and test thoughts that keep them stuck. She also brings in attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.

Molly often mixes skills-based work and emotion regulation. That can include elements of dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense feelings, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She also offers expressive methods when helpful, such as art or play-based techniques for younger clients.

Her background includes working with people affected by abuse and other traumatic experiences. She has classroom experience teaching child psychology and personality, which she says informs how she explains ideas and guides practice. She aims to help clients build clearer communication and more reliable coping tools.

Sessions focus on concrete strategies alongside reflection about relationship patterns. Practical goals might include reducing anxiety in social situations, improving parenting confidence, or learning tools to handle anger and stress. People who want a mix of skills practice and exploration of relationship roots may find this approach useful.

How Molly uses evidence-based approaches in online work

Molly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that feed anxiety and avoidance. CBT sessions focus on practical skills, behavior experiments, and step-by-step practice that can be assigned between meetings.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early caregiving relationships affect current fears and interaction patterns. That work looks at relationship habits and builds new ways of connecting and relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Molly will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort. She checks in about what helps, adjusts techniques, and combines skills practice with reflection when that suits the client.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use practices learned in session in their everyday settings, such as trying a brief mindfulness exercise between appointments.
