About Faizah
Faizah Mawusi is a licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of practice in Indiana. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or anger. Her work centers on listening closely and helping clients find steps that feel doable in their everyday lives.
She uses straightforward techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Sessions often focus on skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Practical tools are paired with attention to the effects of trauma and grief. Mawusi pays special attention to LGBTQ concerns and multicultural issues, and she supports those working through gender dysphoria, postpartum changes, and family of origin struggles. She also helps people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, and problems with self-esteem or isolation.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances empathy with clear, concrete strategies. Mawusi draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based exercises to build skills for daily life.
She encourages small experiments between sessions to test what works. Her long experience includes helping people navigate relationship shifts, divorce and separation, parenting strain, and workplace stress. People who want to address anger or improve communication will find direct, skills-based support along with space to process the feelings underneath.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Faizah uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and perspective, offering space to be heard and to set the direction of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and develop different responses, which can reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating strong emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust them over time so the work feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer conversations and skills practice. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option and easier when a session needs to fit a work break. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, homework guidance, or ongoing encouragement between appointments.
