About Mona
Mona Awad is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also notes experience supporting people facing blended family issues and other family-related concerns.
Mona centers sessions on the client's own perspective and strengths. She treats clients as the expert on their life and helps them notice skills they already use. Conversations are direct and practical, focused on what is getting in the way now and what might help next.
Her approach blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she listens for the goals a person names and then uses clear, skill-based work to test different ways of thinking and acting. Sessions often include straightforward problem solving alongside reflective discussion.
Mona aims to help people manage symptoms and build day-to-day coping tools. For someone in a stepfamily or a blended household she can help talk through loyalty conflicts, role confusion, and adjustments after change. She does not provide legal or custody advice.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Her practice is based in Florida and she uses the perspective of her clinical approaches to guide each session. To begin, readers are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mona uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters most. It helps with feeling heard, clarifying priorities, and building confidence to make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT can be useful for stress, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mona will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift over time from reflective conversation to skill practice as needed.

In general, online sessions make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving. They can shorten commute time, allow a quicker check-in between appointments, or make it simpler to attend when energy is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered listening and CBT exercises for virtual meetings so the work stays focused on practical next steps.
