Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship strain. She brings 14 years of experience in social services and clinical care. Faith listens carefully and works with each person to find practical ways forward.
Her approach blends different therapies to match each person's needs. Faith uses methods from cognitive behavioral work, emotion-focused approaches, and somatic practices to help people notice patterns and try new skills. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused techniques when those fit the goals.
Faith has experience supporting people with addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and mood conditions including bipolar disorder. She also addresses issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, dissociation, domestic violence, and codependency. Her background includes many years working directly with people affected by trauma and life changes.
Faith describes herself as empathic and caring. She says she understands how hard it can be to ask for help because she has sat in both roles of therapist and client. In sessions she aims to help clients connect to their strengths and take manageable steps toward change.
To begin, Faith encourages people to think about what matters most to them and what they want to change. She works collaboratively to set goals and pick strategies that are realistic for daily life.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Faith uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then try concrete changes to feel better. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related problems.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and name strong feelings and improve how they express emotions. EFT can be helpful for relationship stress, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. Faith incorporates somatic techniques when helpful to connect body sensations with emotions and reduce tension after trauma.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Faith will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their style and needs. If something does not feel helpful, she adjusts the plan together with the client.
