Molly Techau, LMFT, LPCC

Molly Techau is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and depression. She supports people navigating adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, body image struggles, caregiver stress, and communication or control problems. Molly works with individuals age 12 and up and tailors sessions to each person's needs.

Molly came to counseling after personal experience with grief following her father's death. That experience led her to change course and pursue helping others. She emphasizes presence and a nonjudgmental stance while people sort through difficult emotions and life changes.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Molly listens first, then helps clients set reachable goals. She looks for opportunities to gently challenge unhelpful patterns and build skills for managing mood, relationships, or eating-related concerns.

Molly draws on seven years of clinical work in Kentucky. She combines attention to personal story with concrete steps people can try between sessions. Sessions are adapted to the client's age, needs, and pace so progress feels steady and sustainable.

Outside of work she lives in Kentucky with her husband and four large dogs. She enjoys running, writing, leading Bible study, mentoring, and quiet mornings with coffee and a journal. That same steady, warm presence shows up in her approach to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Many of Molly's choices in session focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people change unhelpful behaviors and manage strong emotions. One common approach helps clients learn specific skills for mood and anxiety management, such as breathing exercises, behavioral experiments, and tracking patterns that lead to stress. These skills are useful for anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress.

Another frequent focus is improving communication and relationship patterns. This involves noticing recurring interaction habits, practicing new ways of speaking and listening, and setting clearer boundaries. These steps can help with relationship strain, blended family challenges, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Molly collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work between appointments with simple skill practice and homework that integrate into daily routines.
