Mona AwadLCSW

Mona Awad is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and navigating life changes. Mona approaches therapy with a straightforward belief: clients know their own stories and bring strengths to the work.

She aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through immediate problems. Sessions often focus on identifying small, doable steps to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Mona listens for what matters most and helps clarify goals that feel realistic.

Mona uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client's priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and behavior that keep problems going. Together these approaches make it easier to try new ways of coping.

Her additional focus areas include challenges such as abandonment, caregiver stress, fertility concerns, family of origin issues, and recovery from domestic violence. Mona also supports people handling divorce, blended family strain, immigration-related stress, and aging or geriatric concerns.

This work is collaborative and paced to the person in the room. Mona encourages practical change while respecting each client's timing and limits. She welcomes conversations about goals, expectations, and any worries someone might bring to their first meetings.

How Mona’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says is most important. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through feelings related to pregnancy, childbirth, or other life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT can help with worry, sleep trouble, or repetitive negative thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mona will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can be easier to fit sessions into busy days, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can support consistent follow-through on coping strategies and allow the therapist and client to use worksheets, thought records, and homework between meetings.
