Molly Mead
LCSW-S
Molly Mead, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Austin, Texas, who has called the city home since 2016. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from The University of Texas at Austin and brings a thoughtful, relational approach to therapy rooted in curiosity, kindness, and humor. Molly is passionate about building meaningful, trusting relationships with clients and families to support lasting emotional growth and positive change.
Molly specializes in working with children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), emetophobia (fear of vomiting), sleep difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and friendship struggles. She is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold-standard treatment for OCD—and thoughtfully integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to meet each client’s unique needs, goals, and developmental stage.
In addition to individual therapy, Molly supports parents through SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), an evidence-based coaching model designed to help caregivers respond effectively to childhood anxiety and OCD while strengthening family relationships.
Molly views therapy as a collaborative learning process. She acts as a compassionate cheerleader—helping clients practice radical self-acceptance, build confidence, and develop practical coping skills that support long-term resilience.
Outside the therapy room, Molly enjoys long walks, pop-culture podcasts, baking, and reality TV (her favorite guilty pleasure). She also loves spending time with her joyful 75-pound dog, Ozzie. You can follow her baking adventures on Instagram @madebymolly for a sweet glimpse into her creative side.
