About Faizah
Faizah Mawusi offers a warm, client-centered style grounded in practical tools. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in Indiana with 32 years of experience. Her way of working aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful for everyday life.
She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and issues tied to LGBTQ+ experiences. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. Mawusi blends client-centered work with cognitive behavior approaches and dialectical behavior elements. That means sessions include listening and reflection, plus practical skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the person’s goals. Her background includes long practice with multicultural and identity-related concerns, communication problems, and family of origin issues. She also addresses postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, and healing after abuse or loss.
Her experience supports people aiming for clearer boundaries and steadier mood regulation. In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change and how to get there with small, reachable steps. She helps clients notice patterns that cause pain and teaches tools to respond differently.
The aim is steady progress people can feel in daily life.

Online support
How client-centered, CBT, and DBT work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people find their own solutions. In online sessions this often means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps clients name their goals and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT can include structured exercises, thought records, and homework to practice new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, or mood challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. In remote sessions clients learn step-by-step strategies for managing intense emotions and improving communication.
The therapist works collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. Together the client and therapist review goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps identify which tools are most helpful over time.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and screen-share worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
