About Molly
Molly Techau is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family-related issues, grief, and depression. Molly also pays attention to adoption and foster care matters, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She began counseling after a personal loss and shifted careers to counseling following that experience. That background informs how she listens and the priority she places on emotional honesty. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational, with time spent naming what feels hard and deciding on small, manageable steps forward.
Molly describes her style as collaborative. She works with clients to set clear goals and will sometimes offer a gentle challenge when it helps move things forward. Sessions are adapted to what each person brings, so a struggling parent might focus on boundaries one week and grief the next.
Her practical focus includes mood management, communication skills, and navigating difficult family-of-origin patterns. She also addresses eating and food-related issues, codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. The work often mixes talking, skill practice, and straightforward planning.
Outside of work Molly lives in Kentucky with her husband and their dogs. She spends free time running, leading a Bible study, journaling, mentoring, and reading. Her background in ministry and lived experience with loss shape how she frames hope and resilience in sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they shape online work
Two common evidence-based techniques she uses are practical skill building and grief-focused conversation. Practical skill building means teaching specific communication and mood-management skills, then practicing them between sessions to make daily life easier. Grief-focused conversation involves naming loss, tracking emotions over time, and creating ways to remember and adjust without avoiding the pain.She also blends collaborative problem-solving into sessions. That looks like setting clear goals together, trying small experiments, and checking what helped. Deciding on an approach is a shared process. The therapist works with the client to choose methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than assuming a single path.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around childcare, work breaks, or weekend time. It can also reduce commuting time and allow for shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is what’s needed. Ask about specific session lengths and delivery methods when you arrange the first appointment.
