Background and approach
With two decades of clinical experience, she centers work on clients' strengths and life knowledge while offering structured tools to address persistent symptoms and practical challenges. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques, tailoring strategies to each person's situation and goals.
Mona values collaboration and helps clients identify meaningful changes, build coping skills, and improve communication and emotional regulation as they move through life transitions or face chronic stressors. Clients can expect a respectful, steady therapeutic presence where their priorities guide the pace and focus of sessions.
Mona’s Texas licensure as an LCSW underpins her clinical practice and informs her work supporting people through complex emotions, caregiver strain, chronic illness concerns, end-of-life issues, and interpersonal challenges.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Coping and Change
CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it provides concrete exercises and skill-building useful for anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility, which can help when clients face grief, chronic stress, or difficult emotions that resist quick fixes. Client-centered therapy prioritizes empathy and collaboration, creating a space where clients’ perspectives and strengths guide the work and therapeutic goals.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods over time so the approach stays practical and relevant. This collaborative stance helps ensure that techniques are meaningful and align with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations, balance therapy with work or caregiving responsibilities, and choose the format that best supports their day-to-day needs while working toward their goals.
