Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and owner at Counseling Sphere LLC, an online private practice serving clients across PA. To see if we're the right fit, I encourage potential clients to cross reference me on: www.counselingsphere.com or search "Molly St. Cyr" on Psychology Today. You can also explore specifics about my style and approach on my business instagram page: @counselingsphere.
For the past 9+ years, I've worked as a therapist in various settings and with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief & loss, and family conflict. Concerns showing up in present day are often not random, but instead are rooted in past experiences that've shaped the way we view ourselves, others and the world. I spent a chunk of my career specializing in helping clients who've experienced both chronic (long lasting) and acute (single incident) trauma. With a flexible understanding of the word "trauma," lets chat about how the past might be impacting your present.
My Approach:
My job as a therapist is to empower growth and hold space for clients in vulnerable moments. I recognize the importance of treating the whole person: body, mind, heart and spirit within each clients' unique context. Counseling is also centered around building a trusting relationship. Clients can expect to be greeted by a friendly face paired with a professional demeanor and flexible attitude. I have found it most beneficial to integrate different therapy techniques/interventions based on the needs of the client.
What To Expect:
The first few therapy sessions with a client are focused on information gathering, where I'm taking a thorough history of past and presenting concerns. Clients can expect thought-provoking questions which help them build new insights and themes. Ultimately a colorful picture is painted that illuminates how the client would like to move forward and where they'd like to see themselves. If you are ready to work together to create a healing path forward, you’re in the right place. It's an honor to walk alongside clients during some of their most vulnerable and empowering moments.
*Friendly Disclaimer* for potential new clients. Working with me on Betterhelp is not “therapy on demand.” I view my work on on this platform the same way I operate in private practice: therapeutic work occurs during regularly scheduled live therapy sessions. I welcome clients to share journal entries and messages in the chat, with the understanding that processing around those messages will primarily be done during live sessions. If you've been matched with me, please understand that I'll respond within 24-48 hours unless its a weekend or holiday, which may delay my response. I am accepting new clients who request video or phone sessions. I am not accepting new live chat requests at this time and I do not view asynchronous chat messaging as a primary method of conducting therapy. There are many therapists on the platform who operate differently, so I encourage clients to explore who might best fit their needs and preferences.
Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile. Best wishes on finding the right therapist match, whether its me or otherwise!

Molly is a great therapist. She is affirming, kind, and receptive. She listens without judgement and gives great introspection into my concerns and issues. I feel that I have grown as a person with her help.

Molly made me feel seen, heard, and made my first experience with therapy easier than I expected. She’s a light and really helps to dig deep in conversation. Molly allowed me to discover parts of myself I didn’t know existed. I looked forward to my session with her each week because I knew I’d feel safe, comforted, and I’d always leave with a greater sense of peace and clarity. I would recommend Molly to anyone in Pennsylvania, I only wish she could be my therapist out of state too.

I highly recommend Molly - she is a great therapist. She understands my goals and restrictions and comes up with different ideas for me based on my crazy schedule. A large part of my anxiety stems from lack of time in my schedule and she was able to give me recommendations that helped me without triggering that, which was really important for me to be able to work on myself.
