More about Molly
- 28 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 28 years of experience working as a counselor in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief, and adjusting to transitions in life. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I am trained in equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) and while we will not have the luxury of having horses in the session, I can incorporate many of those principles in a telehealth session.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines trauma-informed, somatic and attachment styles to promote growth and healing. I believe that we heal through reparative, relational experiences. I incorporate neurobiology in the sessions and discuss how the brain is affected when we experience trauma at an early age or later in life. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Molly is the best. She truly shows me that she's concerned about me and she cares what I'm going through
I am very grateful for Molly. I’ve had a few sessions with her and I can tell that she is extremely knowledgeable and wise. I value what she has to say and I appreciate how she involves me in this process. I know that I’m making progress. She has really educated me well on how my brain works and it helps me break down what I need to do to get the results I’m looking for.
Molly is amazing. She is the best counselor that I have had. I am making a lot of progress and so grateful!
I’ve really appreciated Mollys help! I like that she’s very clear and understanding- even when I fell like I’m not making any sense, Thank You Molly looking forward to our next session!
Molly has been amazing! She provides great perspective and insight, and helps navigate resources in a world that is full of so many opinions. I’m so glad to have matched with her.
Love her she listens to my concerns and allows me to start living my best life. Recommend to all
Molly has made me feel comfortable sharing from our first visit. I really feel I have a touchstone now, someone to listen and help me process tough things. She's given me tools to keep my calm through a variety of anxiety issues, and helped me gain confidence through a pretty tough time. I am grateful.
She is very sweet caring and comforting in a time of great need. I get why her reviews are amazing and she stays busy! Such a blessing to have her as my better help therapist
I have been in and out of therapy for almost 6 years and Molly is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She is nurturing, compassionate and makes sure that you have the tools to you need to be better.
I had a long list of things I wanted to work on with Molly and within the first session she identified something not on the list that is actually the root issue of a lot of things. I felt very safe and comfortable to tell her anything very early on.
Molly has gotten me through a really tough season in my life. Her active listening and support means the world to me. Thank you, Molly, for all you do! You are appreciated!
Molly is wonderful! She is very responsive and kind and has a lot of experience. I enjoy my time with her.
Molly saved my life.
I have never felt more comfortable talking to a counselor!! Molly is wonderful and caring and funny. She has great ideas and advice and really knows her stuff. So happy to have been matched with her! Thank you BetterHelp!
Molly is a great listener, and her advice is incredibly helpful. She helps you focus on your goals and work through your issue.
We've only had two sessions for far, but I already feel like I've come a long way on my healing journey and that has almost everything to do with Molly's listening ability and science based approach to healing.
Molly is very caring and understanding! Great counselor!
Ms. Rafferty is great. I appreciate everything she’s done to Help me find the root of a lot of things surrounding my life and never makes me feel pressured or judged.
Me. Rafferty has helped me unpack a lot of emotion and energy that I had been holding throughout my life. In just a few sessions, I have been and continue to grow and gain a perspective that I had not been able to see before.
I have only had one session with Miss Molly but even that has had a profound affect on my life and my situation as a whole. I hope to be able to continue with her for as long as possible and continue to form a bond that will last a lifetime and lead to a complete healing of myself.
