Mona Awad, LCSW

Mona Awad is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with five years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Mona believes clients know their own stories and brings a supportive presence to help them take the first steps toward change.

Her practice centers on listening first. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to each person and building on existing strengths. She encourages small, doable steps when life feels overwhelming and helps people regain confidence and motivation.

Mona uses approaches that emphasize the client’s perspective and practical tools. She works collaboratively to set goals and tries to make progress feel measurable and realistic. Conversations may include ways to cope with big life changes or recurring patterns that keep someone stuck.

She also addresses issues related to family of origin, blended family stress, caregiver strain, abandonment, and relationship concerns such as commitment or separation. Other areas Mona supports include fertility challenges, fatherhood issues, aging and geriatric concerns, immigration-related stress, guilt and shame, and domestic violence recovery.

Mona aims to create an atmosphere that feels respectful and steady. She offers encouragement and clear options rather than vague steps. People who want a practical, person-focused approach may find her style helpful.

How Mona Uses Talk Therapy Online and Practical Techniques

Mona works with Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what the person already knows about their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and gives concrete tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress and priorities shift.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a workday break. It also lets people access a licensed professional from a different location, which can be helpful for those who have moved or travel frequently. Mona aims to adapt sessions to what works for each person while helping them use practical skills between meetings.
