About Mona
Mona Awad is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of practice experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Mona also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.
She starts by listening to how a person's past and present fit together. She treats people as the experts on their own story and looks for strengths to use in therapy. Conversations are direct and practical, focused on what feels most pressing right now.
Mona uses straightforward techniques drawn from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new ways of coping, and trying small behavioral changes between meetings. She checks in about what works and adapts the approach as needed.
Her additional areas include relationship themes such as commitment, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and divorce and separation. She also addresses caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, immigration-related stress, and feelings tied to abandonment, guilt, or shame.
Mona speaks English and accepts international clients. Her work aims to reduce symptoms that interfere with everyday life and to help people make concrete changes. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to set goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies their goals so they can decide what to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tries small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.Figuring out which approach to use is collaborative. Mona will review a person's goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the focus if something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-in meetings during a break. It can also let people use video or audio depending on what feels most practical. Licensed professionals can tailor pace and homework to suit everyday schedules, helping therapy to fit around work and family commitments.
