About Molly

Molly Giannotta is an LMHC practicing in Florida who centers therapy on the relationship between people and their history. She offers calm, direct support for stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Her style aims to help parents and individuals feel understood and find practical ways to cope.

Molly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are added when they help calm strong emotions and improve moments of connection.

Her background includes work with trauma from graduate training and many years supporting people through abuse, grief, and big family changes. She has led college courses in child psychology and personality, which she says informs how she explains things in session. That teaching experience often helps when describing development and behavior in plain terms.

Molly incorporates expressive methods at times, like simple art-based exercises, to offer different ways to process difficult memories. She also uses attachment-focused and parent-oriented strategies when parenting stress or adoption and foster care concerns come up. Her approach aims to be practical and down-to-earth for busy people.

Clients can expect a therapist who listens first and suggests doable steps next. Over nine years of practice inform how she balances listening with targeted skill work and planning for real-life situations.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions

This therapist combines attachment-based approaches with cognitive behavioral therapy to guide sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns that come from early relationships and how those patterns show up now in stress, parenting, and relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes to see what helps.

She also uses mindfulness and some dialectical behavior skills to help manage strong emotions and stay present during difficult moments. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path up front.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it possible for international clients to connect without relocating. The therapist aims to help people apply skills learned in sessions to everyday routines and parenting moments, whatever the chosen format.
