Mona Awad, LCSW

Mona Awad is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, caregiving strain, family of origin issues, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.

Mona sees people as the experts on their own lives and starts by listening to what matters most to them. She helps clients identify strengths they already have and apply those strengths to current problems. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract talk alone.

Her practice uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities. She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thinking and try small behavioral changes. These approaches are used to address mood, stress, and relationship-related difficulties.

Mona keeps interactions straightforward and practical. She offers a calm, goal-oriented way of working that looks at daily habits, coping strategies, and ways to reduce rumination. She encourages short experiments between sessions to test what helps.

People who come to her often want practical tools for handling guilt, shame, or repeated worry. She supports parents, caregivers, and people dealing with relationship changes without assuming one right path. To begin, she asks questions about current struggles and what a reasonable next step would look like for the client.
