Mollie Baker , LCSW

Mollie Baker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon who brings five years of experience across inpatient and outpatient settings as well as work in community development internationally. She centers her work on helping adults discover and use their inner strengths so they can move toward greater ease and fulfillment in daily life. Mollie emphasizes collaboration, building individualized plans that draw on evidence-informed tools while honoring each person s values and goals.

Her approach is trauma-sensitive and strengths-based, with particular attention to adults age 18 and older and a special focus on Military members, Veterans, and their family members. Mollie integrates a range of clinical methods including Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy techniques, and mindfulness practices to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem.

She is also trained in mindfulness-meditation, clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, emotional freedom technique (EFT), and yoga-informed approaches, and she often blends these tools to match what will be most useful for each person. Mollie aims to create a respectful, supportive environment where clients can feel seen and engaged in practical steps toward their goals.

Integrating EMDR, CBT, and Client-Centered Care Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients tap their own resources for change. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-focused method that explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity; it is often used for trauma and abuse-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mollie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so clients feel involved in decisions about their care rather than having a predetermined plan imposed.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for fitting sessions into busy lives, reducing travel time, and creating more consistent access to therapists. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use approaches like mindfulness, CBT exercises, or EMDR-informed work in ways that suit each client s schedule and comfort.
