About John

John Molden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 18 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career problems, addictions, grief, anger, and depression. He also has a practice focus that includes caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, men’s issues, and coping after disasters.

His approach is practical and conversational. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect day-to-day coping. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.

Sessions are built around what the person needs to accomplish. Conversations aim to clarify goals, test small changes, and teach skills that can be used between meetings. He frames work in terms of real life demands like work, family pressures, health, and community stressors.

John describes himself as respectful and sensitive in his work. He adapts sessions to the concerns presented and the client’s preferences. He accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English.

He holds the credential LCSW, and also lists CSW. The practice is based in Georgia. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling steps.

BHow sessions work

Using ACT, CBT and Attachment ideas in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with values. It can help with stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches practical strategies for managing symptoms like worry or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect coping and trust, which can be useful for trauma, relationship concerns, and ongoing relational stress.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and decide together what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match exercises and skills to everyday demands like work and caregiving.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around a job, caregiving, or medical appointments. They also allow shorter check-ins or skill-practice between obligations, and may reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to confirm how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect.
