About Molly

Molly Giannotta is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings nine years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. Molly aims to create an approachable space where parents and individuals can talk about difficult experiences and start to make changes that matter to daily life.

Molly uses Narrative therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered ways of working.

Background and approach

She invites people to tell their story and look at how that story shapes feelings and choices. That process can help with issues like trauma, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and parenting tensions. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse that began during graduate training, plus years of practical experience with a range of concerns.

She also has experience teaching college courses in psychology, which supports her ability to explain ideas clearly and help people learn useful skills. In sessions Molly mixes cognitive-behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when they fit a person’s goals. She also offers expressive options when helpful, such as art-based activities for processing emotions.

The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People can connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for both the person and the therapist.

Online session options

How narrative and attachment work online

Many of Molly's methods translate well to online care. Narrative therapy centers on telling and reworking personal stories to change how problems are seen and acted on; this can help with trauma, parenting stress, and identity concerns. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with communication, caregiver stress, and family tensions.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's goals and perspective. Together these approaches are used collaboratively - the therapist and client decide which ideas to try based on needs, goals, and what feels useful in session. That means shifting between listening, teaching coping skills, and trying expressive activities when they seem helpful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, or regular encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
