About Faith
Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. She speaks English and offers sessions in formats that fit modern life, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Faith takes a straightforward and caring approach. She listens first, and then helps people find practical steps that fit their daily lives.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build on strengths, break problems into manageable parts, and practice skills that make a real difference between appointments. Her work blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Somatic therapy connects body sensations with feelings to help release stuck stress. Faith also uses Emotionally-Focused and Solution-Focused techniques to improve how people relate and to set achievable short-term goals.
She adapts methods to each person, rather than following a rigid plan, and includes attention to life context such as adoption, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues when those come up. Many clients find that having both therapist experience and prior experience as a therapy client helps Faith relate to the hard parts of change.
She works collaboratively, helping people identify what matters most and taking steady steps toward it.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Faith commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and teaching straightforward coping strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes learning concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.She also integrates Somatic Therapy when body sensations and stress responses are part of the problem. Somatic techniques help people notice physical tension and use grounding or movement-based strategies to reduce that tension and feel more settled in the moment. Together these approaches give both skill-based tools and mind-body options depending on what a person needs.
Faith treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that match those needs and adjust as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and visual connection; phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or shorter workday appointments. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances.
