About Faith
Rev. Faith Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia with ten years of experience. She trained in both clinical mental health counseling and pastoral care, and brings that combined background into therapy.
Her work centers on family and relationship concerns, along with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and related struggles. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master of Divinity focused on pastoral care and counseling.
Background and approach
Clinical pastoral education included training at St. Luke's, Emory University Hospital, and the VA Medical Center in Atlanta. Earlier study included a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wesleyan College.
Her style is warm and practical. She emphasizes building trust and treats people with unconditional positive regard. Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable steps that address the problem at hand while also honoring each person’s beliefs and values.
Therapy here blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions - with Solution-Focused Therapy - which zeroes in on small changes that make a difference. Faith adapts techniques to fit each family’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Many clients come for help with family relationships, couple concerns, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, or substance-related issues. She aims to help people find manageable changes, reduce overwhelm, and improve day-to-day functioning.
How her approaches translate to online family and relationship work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment, giving clients space to share what matters most and guiding conversations at the client’s pace. This approach helps with relationship tensions and family conversations where being heard matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into specific thoughts and behaviors to change.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete changes that move a family or relationship forward. It emphasizes strengths, goals, and brief steps that can create quick improvements in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and what feels comfortable. Sessions often mix techniques from these approaches to fit a family’s real needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to schedule sessions around family life, continue support during busy periods, and stay connected across distances. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, coach through conflict, and follow progress between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
