About Mondie

Mondie Gonzales is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of focused practice and a long career in community mental health and independent practice.

Background and approach

She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and brings decades of experience helping people navigate trauma, grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and related life stresses. Her work draws on a broad clinical background developed through direct practice with individuals, couples, and families in both community settings and her own practice in Ohio.

Her style centers on collaboration and respect for each person's expertise about their own life. Mondie emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and blends client-centered listening with practical strategies tailored to goals.

She helps clients name what they want, define concrete steps, and build life skills such as boundary setting, decision-making, and coping with transitions. With a flexible approach that includes cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques as well as solution-focused and motivational strategies, she adapts methods to fit each person’s needs.

Mondie aims to support meaningful, sustainable change by helping clients clarify values, strengthen daily routines, and move toward the outcomes they choose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client's perspective guides the work and personal strengths are emphasized; this approach is helpful for people seeking supportive exploration and clearer decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, often supporting work on trauma, anger, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Mondie partners with each client to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to set priorities, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps the client make progress and feel more capable in daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from various locations and to access support between in-person opportunities, while still allowing licensed professionals to use structured interventions, skills practice, and collaborative planning to help clients move toward their goals.
