About Faizah
Faizah Mawusi is an LCSW in Indiana with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems that often show up at home and at work, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and LGBT-related issues.
She uses practical, person-focused methods in sessions. That can mean talking through patterns that keep causing pain, practicing skills to manage strong emotions, or setting small steps to change behavior. She pays attention to how family history and cultural background affect everyday life and relationships.
Clients meet someone who favors clear, direct work over jargon. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning emotion-regulation strategies, and building better communication. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing may be used to support change when useful.
Faizah has particular experience with relationship and family-related concerns like communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. She also addresses postpartum depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue for caregivers and professionals.
Sessions tend to focus on practical steps that can be tried between meetings. She helps people cope with life changes, reduce isolation, and rebuild self-esteem. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and logistics.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online sessions
Faizah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) methods in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person and helps clarify goals and values. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that increase anxiety or depression and teaches concrete strategies to change those patterns. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for anger, relationship strain, and self-harm concerns.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Faizah will work with each client to decide which methods fit their situation and goals, and she may combine techniques from different approaches as needs evolve.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid long commutes, or select options that require less bandwidth or no camera when that helps people keep therapy consistent.
