About Faith
Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and offers steady support while people work through practical challenges. Her style centers on collaboration and building on each person’s strengths.
Faith draws on 14 years in social services and counseling work. She has experience with parenting concerns, addiction, grief, anger, intimacy issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
How Faith works
She also focuses on abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and related life transitions. Her approach blends several well-known methods rather than relying on a single technique. Sessions may include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking.
She also uses somatic techniques that pay attention to bodily responses and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. Faith emphasizes a practical, individualized plan. She listens for what is working and what is not, then helps set small, achievable goals.
The work can include short-term solution-focused steps and deeper trauma-focused strategies when needed. Clients can expect straightforward, respectful support. Faith believes people already have strengths they can use to move forward.
She focuses on helping people find clearer direction, build coping skills, and reconnect with purpose.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Faith blends cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and somatic techniques in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to change feelings and actions. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily reactions and teaches ways to notice and ease physical tension related to stress or trauma.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, ongoing support, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
