About Mona
Mona Bartram is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and sleep problems. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and honest. Mona affirms each person's strengths and helps them use those strengths to face hard moments.
She listens with a client-centered attitude and uses practical tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily routines. Mona also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy ideas to help people notice what matters most and move toward it.
Across two decades of practice, Mona has supported people through major life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She pays attention to how loss, abandonment, and family patterns show up in day-to-day life. Her work includes helping people with communication problems and managing impulsivity.
People who come for help with sleep and rest learn simple habits and coping strategies to change nighttime patterns. Mona offers practical adjustments and emotion-focused work when worry or grief keeps people awake.
Her sessions are grounded in respect and collaboration. She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new skills between visits, and notice small wins as routines shift.
Online approaches that fit daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and when sleep is disrupted by worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding; it often includes practical homework for sleep routines and mood management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and how they shape relationships, which can help with family and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mona will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and what feels manageable. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.
