About Faith

Faith Clark is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 19 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue, and she often helps people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health.

Clark uses practical, talk-based methods. She listens to what people want to change and then helps them try new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful habits.

She also draws on client-centered strategies and motivational interviewing to help people clarify values and move toward goals that matter to them. Mindfulness practices are used when slowing down and noticing thoughts and feelings can reduce overwhelm.

People who come because of caregiver stress, chronic illness or body image concerns find that sessions focus on concrete coping strategies and daily routines they can test between meetings. When addiction or co-occurring mood symptoms are present, Clark addresses both the behavior and the feelings that fuel it.

Her work pays attention to attachment and abandonment wounds, dissociation, and personality-related patterns such as avoidant or dependent tendencies. She encourages short experiments in how to relate differently to others and to oneself, aiming to make small, sustainable changes.

Faith speaks English and practices in Minnesota. Before booking, readers should use the site process to view current session options and schedule an initial appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps clarify values and priorities through guided conversation and open questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together choose which methods to try first. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use practices discussed in session during their normal routines, making it simpler to try new coping strategies between meetings.
