About Faith

Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Indiana with 14 years of experience in social services and counseling. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, relationship concerns, grief, addictions, and questions about life purpose.

Faith uses practical talk and collaborative decision-making in sessions. She combines several therapeutic methods to help people manage symptoms and find clearer next steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building skills for everyday life.

Her background includes work across clinical settings where she supported people with mood disorders, panic attacks, ADHD, and issues tied to family of origin, divorce, or adoption and foster care. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, anger, codependency, and isolation or loneliness.

In practice she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and somatic approaches to help people understand emotions and bodily responses related to trauma and stress.

Faith describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients identify strengths, experiment with new responses, and clarify what matters next after changes in work, relationships, or health. To start, readers are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together

Faith commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, panic, and low mood. DBT adds practical skills for tolerating distress, managing strong emotions, and improving how people relate to others.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and somatic techniques when feelings or bodily sensations are central. EFT looks at emotional patterns and how they affect relationships and self-understanding. Somatic work brings attention to bodily responses tied to stress or trauma and pairs those observations with coping strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will review your needs, goals, and preferences and make collaborative choices about which methods to try. Sessions are paced to fit what you want to address and to build skills that can be used between meetings.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skills practice, and emotion-focused work to an online setting to help clients address life changes and direction questions.
