About John
John Molden is a Georgia licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. He aims to meet people where they are and support steady progress toward clearer goals.
With 18 years of experience, John adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. He works with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, career struggles, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and challenges from adoption or foster care experiences. In sessions he uses straightforward methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new, workable habits. He also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional connection.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when someone needs tools for intense emotions and coping. John describes therapy as a collaborative process. He will tailor the pace and focus based on what the person wants to achieve.
Common goals include reducing angry outbursts, improving stress response, rebuilding confidence, and navigating major life transitions. People often start by identifying one small, manageable change. From there he helps build practical skills, check progress, and adjust the plan as life shifts.
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the work.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It’s useful for anxiety, anger, and making forward movement when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns that feed distress and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression or stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and learning new skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching moments, or when a shorter, more frequent touch fits a busy schedule.
