About Mona
Dr. Mona Stribling is a licensed psychologist practicing in Hawaii and Florida with 19 years of professional experience. She meets people where they are and helps them navigate hard moments like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to create a calm space for people to talk and take steps forward.
Dr. Stribling favors practical, goal-oriented work that focuses on strengths. She often uses solution-focused strategies alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to break problems into manageable steps. Mindfulness and acceptance-based tools also appear in sessions to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.
In practice, sessions are collaborative. The therapist and client shape goals together and adjust plans as life changes. That can mean short-term skill-building for a specific problem or a longer path to process grief and trauma.
She also supports people facing caregiver stress, relationship struggles such as communication problems or infidelity, and identity-related challenges like gender dysphoria. Additional concerns addressed include panic attacks, mood disorders, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English. Dr. Stribling emphasizes empathy and flexibility and invites people to bring their real-life worries into the room. If someone is ready to try therapy, she works collaboratively to find practical next steps.
