Mollie Baker , LCSW

Mollie Baker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with five years of clinical experience. She works primarily with adults ages 18 and older and offers a trauma-sensitive, strengths-based approach that emphasizes practical coping skills and personal strengths. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Mollie integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices to create individualized treatment plans. She values collaboration, helping each person identify inner resources and tailor interventions to their goals and preferences. Her approach also attends to life transitions, caregiver and chronic illness struggles, body image, and first responder or military-related stress. Sessions are intended to be respectful and supportive so individuals can explore change at their own pace and develop greater ease and fulfillment in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It involves open listening and reflective support so individuals can explore values, strengths, and choices; this approach often helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep difficulties by teaching strategies to reframe unhelpful thinking and build adaptive habits.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. It is often used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms as well as other forms of intense emotional distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Mollie collaborates with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists bring different tools, and Mollie aims to match interventions to each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage in therapy from familiar settings while still receiving structured, professional support.
