Background and approach
Sessions emphasize building on strengths and developing concrete coping skills for hard moments. Her approach blends several proven methods so treatment fits the person, not the other way around. Faith draws from cognitive-behavioral techniques to change thinking patterns, DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and somatic tools to help people notice and calm bodily stress responses.
She also uses emotionally-focused and solution-focused ideas to improve communication and set achievable goals. That mix lets her address mood symptoms, trauma reactions, grief, parenting stress, and issues like codependency or abandonment concerns. Faith understands what it’s like to be a client and uses that perspective to create a respectful, collaborative space.
She helps people identify values and purpose while working toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and healthier ways of relating. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. Faith accepts clients in Indiana and also sees international clients by online formats that include video, phone, chat, and messaging.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Faith often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, more useful ways of thinking and behaving; this is helpful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming. Somatic approaches are used to help clients tune into how stress shows up in the body and learn simple bodily practices that can reduce physical tension.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat support shorter check-ins and ongoing skill practice. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
