Molly Hagan, LCSW

Molly Hagan is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and big life changes. She practices in Florida and works with adults facing depression, panic, and the overwhelm that can come from caregiving and workplace pressure.

Her approach blends practical skills with emotional understanding. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. Mindfulness practices are woven in to calm the body and steady attention when emotions feel intense.

Molly spends time building communication skills and addressing feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation. She helps people repair everyday interactions and set boundaries that reduce burnout. Caregiver issues and compassion fatigue are a frequent focus, with concrete strategies to manage day-to-day strain.

Trauma-focused methods guide work with post-traumatic stress and abuse-related wounds. Sessions aim to process painful memories at a pace the person can handle and to develop coping tools for panic and flashbacks. Molly emphasizes small, realistic steps over quick fixes.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients can expect clear goals, short-term skills they can use right away, and attention to life purpose and meaning as recovery moves forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on what matters most and on building small habits to move toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. These skills can help with anxiety, panic, mood problems, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new challenges arise.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care through life transitions and caregiver responsibilities without needing to rearrange as much in-person time.
