Faith Hayes , LMHC

Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 14 years of experience in the social services field. She brings a compassionate, empathic, and committed presence to her work and has helped people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and anger, as well as relationship and parenting challenges. Those who know her describe her as caring and dedicated, and she draws on personal experience of therapy to better understand the vulnerability involved in seeking help.

Faith approaches counseling with an eclectic perspective, blending evidence-based methods to meet each person where they are. She focuses on identifying and building strengths, working collaboratively with clients to address life transitions, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, and a broad range of mood and trauma-related issues. Her practice emphasizes mind, body, and spirit as interconnected elements of healing, and she tailors strategies to each individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.

Faith values resilience and purpose and aims to support clients in moving toward more fulfilling lives. When someone is ready to take the next step, she offers guidance, practical tools, and steady partnership throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Faith Hayes

Faith commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing emotions and behavior. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management, while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to help people explore and strengthen attachment patterns and closeness in relationships, which can be useful for couples work and intimacy-related concerns. Across these methods, Faith tailors interventions to each person's needs and collaborates with clients to determine which approaches fit best based on goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Faith is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live far from in-person services. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively in virtual formats, making it possible to receive consistent support, build skills, and stay connected to therapy from wherever is most convenient.
