About Faith
Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with 14 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and related struggles. Parents who are worried about behavior, mood shifts, or relationship strain will find a calm, practical approach in her work.
Faith keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps identify small, achievable steps. She draws on tools that target thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and body-based responses to stress.
Background and approach
The aim is to build skills that families and individuals can use between sessions. Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. Faith mixes techniques to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method.
She also brings personal experience of therapy to her role, which shapes a respectful and down-to-earth stance. Faith describes her style as empathic and committed. She encourages clients to notice strengths and to practice new ways of coping.
Work with her typically combines talk, skill practice, and attention to how the body holds stress. Work may include addressing parenting stress, family strains, mood concerns, grief, addiction-related issues, ADHD, and other listed areas. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled to fit different routines and locations.
How specific approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, mood problems, and parenting stress.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. In virtual sessions this can include practicing breathing, grounding, and step-by-step problem solving that help during intense moments.
Somatic Therapy brings attention to how the body stores stress and trauma. Online somatic work may involve guided body awareness, movement suggestions, and tracking physical responses to calm the nervous system alongside talk-based techniques.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That range lets families and individuals fit sessions into busy schedules, check in between meetings, and keep continuity when travel or distance makes in-person work difficult. These options emphasize flexibility and easier access to ongoing care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
