Alison Mondares, LCSW

Alison Mondares is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She supports clients dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Alison practices in Florida and uses straightforward, compassionate care to help people manage difficult moments.

She focuses on building practical skills and stronger self-understanding. Sessions often include working on communication, coping tools for intense emotions, and ways to restore daily routines. The aim is to help people notice what matters to them and take small, useful steps toward it.

Alison uses several evidence-informed approaches. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening. Mindfulness strategies and emotion-focused ideas are added when useful to help people settle their thoughts and reconnect with their values.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker. That experience includes supporting people through chronic illness, caregiver stress, grief and end-of-life concerns, and the impact of co-occurring conditions. Alison keeps the work practical and focused on daily improvements.

People who choose her typically want a calm, steady therapist who offers clear steps and empathic attention. To start, she asks about the challenges you want to change and helps plan manageable goals you can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Alison uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take action even when feelings are difficult. ACT focuses on what matters most and creating small, meaningful steps toward those goals. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Together you can adjust techniques over time to find what feels most useful and practical for your situation.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography doesn’t list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt mindfulness exercises, ACT homework, and CBT practices for remote work so you can continue progress between appointments.
