About Mona
Mona Bartram is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family struggles. She focuses on everyday problems like sleeping issues, low self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. Mona speaks English and practices from Texas.
With 20 years of experience, she frames therapy around each person’s story and strengths. She views clients as the experts on their lives and offers practical tools to reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person can use right now. Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with cognitive and behavioral methods. That means she pays attention to feelings and the patterns that keep people stuck, while also teaching skills for coping and changing unhelpful thoughts or habits.
Mindfulness and acceptance work are used to help people tolerate strong emotions. In a typical session she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps set simple, doable goals. She offers techniques for managing panic, improving communication, and handling caregiver or chronic illness stress.
Work can include short skills practice and exploring painful memories when the client is ready. Mona supports people facing grief, end-of-life concerns, abandonment wounds, and family conflict. She also helps with issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and chronic pain adaptation.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make starting therapy clear and manageable.

Online support
Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and changing the emotional patterns that shape relationships and personal reactions. It helps people identify core feelings, shift negative cycles, and build stronger emotional responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skills to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental support while helping the individual find their own solutions and strengths. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan over time. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat or messaging works well for brief updates, skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit work, caregiving, or health schedules while keeping continuity of care.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
