About Molly
Molly Giannotta is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered and cognitive approaches. She brings nine years of counseling experience to sessions. Molly focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. She also works with concerns related to parenting, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family tensions.
Molly favors a straightforward, collaborative style. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals and small steps toward change. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change and helps people resolve mixed feelings about making different choices.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also has experience addressing communication and commitment problems, fatherhood issues, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns. This range informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s situation.
Molly has additionally taught college courses in child psychology and personality, which she says deepened her understanding of development and behavior. She incorporates expressive arts and play-based ideas when they fit the client’s needs and preferences. Sessions aim to be practical and accessible, with strategies people can use between meetings.
People choosing Molly can expect a calm, goal-oriented approach that balances talking through feelings with hands-on tools. She encourages clients to take small, achievable steps and to track progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Molly blends Motivational Interviewing with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to shape online work. Motivational Interviewing helps people sort through mixed feelings about change and find personal reasons to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps rebuild safer ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect so the client sets the pace and goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Molly will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She encourages small experiments and checks in about what feels most useful so the plan can be adjusted over time.
The original profile does not specify exact online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or from different locations. Phone or video check-ins can also shorten a session when a quick follow-up is needed or when a quieter interaction is preferable. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent while they work toward their goals. -
