About Mona
Mona Awad is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. She presents herself as someone who listens and helps people organize the next steps when problems feel overwhelming.
Her approach centers on seeing the client as the expert in their own story. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test realistic alternatives.
Mona helps people break problems into manageable parts. Sessions often include practical skills for coping, ways to change negative thinking, and small behavioral experiments to try between meetings. She emphasizes building on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch.
She has worked with concerns that often come from relationships and life change - such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and immigration-related stress. Mona also addresses issues like guilt, shame, emptiness, and fertility-related distress when these affect day-to-day functioning.
People who prefer direct, practical conversations about feelings and behavior may find her style useful. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters most. In practice this means sessions start by asking what needs attention and then reflecting back to clarify priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings or make a plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT sessions often include identifying patterns of thinking, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing results. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress that responds to practical strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and useful methods, and adjust the plan over time. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed program.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some clients prefer video for in-depth work while others use audio when they need a quicker session or lower bandwidth. The focus is on making therapy usable in day-to-day life rather than on a single format.
