About Mondie
Mondie Gonzales is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 15 years of experience as an LCSW and LISW practicing in Ohio. She trained in psychology and social work, and she has spent decades working in community mental health and private practice. Mondie focuses on helping people make concrete changes that fit their life goals.
Her work centers on the therapeutic relationship and practical decision making. She treats trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also addresses caregiver strain, first responder issues, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and questions related to gender dysphoria and LGBT identity.
Mondie blends methods like mindfulness, client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She encourages clients to name what they want and to define what progress looks like. Sessions often include clear goal-setting and skill-building tailored to each person.
Her background includes long-term work with children and families in community settings, followed by a decade running a private practice with individuals, couples, and families. That mix informs a practical style that emphasizes life skills, boundary-setting, and thoughtful choices.
People who benefit most are those ready to define goals and take steps toward them. Mondie aims to help clients translate insight into action, so daily life starts to reflect the changes they want to see.
How her approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings in the moment and to build calm attention. It can help with stress, anxiety, grief, and strong emotions by training awareness and present-moment focus.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients clarify values and goals so they can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to find practical steps that reduce distress and improve daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust strategies over time. That collaborative process helps match methods like mindfulness, client-centered listening, or CBT skills to what actually helps.
For online sessions, check the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find virtual work helpful for fitting sessions into busy schedules, reducing commute time, and keeping therapy consistent around life demands. Some formats are easier for brief check-ins, while others suit longer, deeper conversations. Confirm the specific options when you set up your first appointment so sessions match your routine and goals.
