About Faith

Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Indiana who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and a range of related concerns.

Background and approach

With 14 years of experience in social services and clinical work, she draws on a variety of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each client's needs. Faith emphasizes empathy, compassion, and a collaborative stance, aiming to help clients recognize and build on their existing strengths.

Her approach is intentionally eclectic, blending techniques from evidence-informed models to address emotional, behavioral, and somatic elements of distress. She values a holistic view that considers mind, body, and spirit while staying current with professional research and methods.

Faith also brings perspective from having been in the role of a client, which informs her sensitivity to the vulnerability involved in starting therapy. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership focused on practical tools and personal growth.

Faith encourages people ready for change to take the next step and offers guidance designed to support resilience, clarify goals, and navigate life transitions.

Using evidence-informed approaches in online therapy



Faith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Faith will explore a client's needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time, combining skill work, emotional processing, and somatic awareness as appropriate to the situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access support from different locations. These options let clients practice skills between sessions and stay connected with a licensed professional in a format that works best for them.
