About Faizah
Faizah Mawusi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 32 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, and family of origin issues among other life challenges. She works with people navigating grief, parenting strains, relationship difficulties, and LGBTQ+ related concerns.
Her sessions are practical and focused on understanding patterns that began in childhood and how they shape current behavior. She uses clear, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also addresses communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and issues around guilt and shame.
Faizah combines client-centered methods with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior approaches. Mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to build coping skills and support decision making. These tools are presented in straightforward language and practiced in-session.
She has long experience working with multicultural concerns and gender identity matters, including gender dysphoria and LGBT-related stress. She also brings experience supporting postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. Work often includes improving self-esteem, reducing isolation, and clarifying life purpose.
Her style is collaborative and practical. People who come for help can expect focused conversations, behavioral options to try between sessions, and attention to how family of origin patterns influence current choices. To begin, clients choose an appointment pathway and complete a short questionnaire to schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the client and adjusting the pace to their needs. It supports people who want to work through family of origin patterns, parenting stress, or relationship conflict by focusing on their own goals and preferences.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses - useful for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete coping skills for intense emotions and interpersonal problems. This can help with anger, self-harm urges, and skills for clearer communication.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, reviewing goals and trying different techniques when needed. That decision is guided by symptoms, life context, and personal preference.
Confirm available online session options before booking. If you prefer sessions that fit around work or family life, online appointments can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. Some formats are better for brief check-ins, others for longer conversations; check current options when you set up the first appointment.
