About Faizah
Faizah Mawusi is an LCSW with 32 years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, mood struggles, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can name what feels hard and take small steps toward feeling steadier. Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring support to each person's life and goals.
She uses client-centered methods to build trust and clarify what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps when thoughts and behaviors get stuck, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are woven in to support motivation, self-compassion, and present-moment coping.
Across decades of work she has focused on issues people commonly face at work and in daily life, including communication problems, workplace strain, relationship transitions, and caregiving stress. She also addresses grief, addiction, postpartum mood concerns, and identity-related struggles like gender dysphoria and multicultural stresses.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Clients can expect collaborative planning, grounded skill-building, and help translating changes from the therapy room into daily routines. The goal is clearer choices and more manageable days, not quick fixes.
Faizah practices in Indiana and speaks English. If someone wants to explore working together they can start by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to her availability.
How Faizah’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, helping them set goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, mood issues, and workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete coping skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication in high-stress situations.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find a practical path forward for work-related strain, relationship changes, or grief.
