Faith Beaulieu , LCMHC

Faith Beaulieu, who goes by Cai, is a North Carolina-based Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). She combines clinical training with movement and body-centered practices as a certified personal trainer, AMGA Climbing Wall Instructor, and somatic coach. Faith identifies as BIPoC, queer, and neurodivergent and brings that lived experience into therapy alongside a passion for travel, rock climbing, and dogs.

Faith structures her work to support concentrated short-term engagement, often offering a 4-8 session framework for clients pursuing experiential, somatic, or targeted personal-growth goals. When goals, scheduling, and therapeutic fit align after that period, she is open to discussing ongoing work. Her calendar reflects regularly offered appointment times but she notes that scheduling can vary to accommodate client needs.

Therapeutically, Faith tends to work from a somatic lens and integrates mindfulness and existential perspectives as appropriate. She uses experiential processes, teaches coping skills when requested or suitable, and employs an intuitive style that can include humor and frank language. This approach supports people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, career and life transitions, eating and body image concerns, neurodivergence-related challenges, and a wide range of other concerns listed in her specialties.

Faith welcomes fellow therapists, teens, climbers, marginalized folx, and anyone drawn to her approach. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, embodied exploration, and practical skills tailored to each person's context.

How embodied and reflective approaches translate to online therapy

Faith integrates somatic, mindfulness, and existential approaches to meet a range of concerns. Somatic therapy focuses on how emotions and experiences are held in the body and uses gentle body-awareness and movement-based exercises to help release tension and build regulation - it can be helpful for trauma, chronic stress, and patterns that feel stuck. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills for noticing thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment - it supports anxiety, mood regulation, and improving attention. Existential therapy encourages exploration of values, meaning, and life choices, assisting people facing transitions, identity questions, or deep uncertainty.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Faith works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques so clients can try different methods and shape a personalized plan that feels effective and sustainable.

Online work with Faith is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, integrate learning between meetings, and maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these methods effectively in virtual formats to support meaningful progress.
