Faith Hayes

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 are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and relationship struggles. Her manner is described as compassionate and caring, and she aims to help clients access their inner strengths and resilience.

Faith knows what it’s like to be both a therapist and a therapy client, so she tries to make the first steps easier. She listens without judgment and works at the client’s pace. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build practical skills that can be used between meetings.

Her approach mixes several methods rather than relying on one model. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy when those ideas fit a person’s needs. The goal is to tailor tools to each person’s situation rather than follow a fixed script.

Faith also pays attention to mind-body connections and brings that into sessions when helpful. She encourages people to explore patterns that affect mood, relationships, and daily coping. That can include learning new ways to manage anger, improving communication, or reducing anxiety symptoms.

If someone wants to work toward clearer goals and steadier coping, she offers a supportive, practical partnership. Prospective clients are invited to start by completing the site’s matching steps and scheduling according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Faith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this approach can be useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy offers ways to name and shift problematic emotional patterns that hurt connection and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Faith will talk with each person about their symptoms, goals, and day-to-day life and then recommend strategies that fit. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or from other locations. Some approaches, like skills practice from DBT or thought-record work from CBT, adapt well to remote sessions and can be used between meetings to track change.
