About Faith
Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with 14 years of experience in social services and clinical work. She focuses on helping people who face anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship strain, and struggles with addiction or identity. Faith approaches conversations with compassion and a calm presence, aiming to make hard topics easier to talk about.
She draws on a mix of practical methods to meet each person where they are.
Background and approach
Faith blends Somatic Therapy with talk-based tools to help people notice how the body and mind respond to stress. She also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy when those approaches fit the situation. In sessions she works collaboratively, helping people identify strengths and small steps forward.
She pays attention to life context and past experiences, including issues like abandonment, adoption, or family of origin problems. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Faith has experience supporting people through grief, parenting strains, anger, intimacy concerns, bipolar and mood issues, panic, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She values honesty about the difficulty of seeking help and speaks from experience as both a therapist and a former therapy client. Practical needs are part of the plan. Faith offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and works with international clients in English.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet.
How Somatic and Practical Therapies Work Online
Somatic Therapy helps people notice physical sensations that link to emotions and stress. Online sessions use guided attention to breath, movement, and body awareness to reduce tension and increase safety in the moment. This can be useful for trauma responses, anxiety, and chronic stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic, and mood changes with short exercises and planning between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those needs, and adjust methods as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and choose what feels most useful during online work.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access care from remote locations, and maintain continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide body-based exercises, teach coping skills, and support planning between meetings.
