About Molly

Molly Giannotta is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, relationships, family problems, grief, and anger. Sessions are focused and practical to help people manage strong feelings and everyday strain.

Molly blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive strategies in her sessions. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters to each person. That means she starts by asking how anger and other concerns show up in daily life, then helps create clear steps to respond differently.

Her background includes work with trauma beginning in graduate school and ongoing experience with family and parenting issues. She has taught courses such as Child Psychology and Psychology of Personality, which she says informs how she explains emotions and behavior during sessions.

Molly aims to collaborate on manageable goals rather than promise quick fixes. She helps people practice new skills between sessions and checks what works. If you want a direct, practical approach to anger and related problems, she offers structured support and steady feedback.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use discussion and guided exercises to map patterns and practice new ways of relating when anger flares.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. In remote sessions, a therapist can walk through thought records, role-play reactions, and assign short practice tasks to try between meetings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily signals. These skills are easy to introduce in a remote visit and to practice during the week for steady progress.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and will adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process keeps sessions practical and focused.

The original profile does not specify supported session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, fewer travel needs, and more scheduling flexibility are common benefits. Discuss format preferences during the intake so sessions match daily routines and technical needs.
