Faith Hayes , LMHC

Faith Hayes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 14 years of professional experience. She brings focused clinical work with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress and anger management, relationship challenges, family concerns, parenting issues, addictions, grief, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem and mood disorders such as bipolar and mood dysregulation. Her practice also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a range of relational and life-change issues including adoption and foster care, abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and domestic violence.

Known for a warm and empathic approach, she combines lived understanding and professional training, having worked both as a therapist and experienced therapy from a client perspective. Faith emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify existing strengths and build practical coping skills while honoring each person’s unique background and values. Her style is deliberately flexible - she draws from multiple therapeutic theories rather than a single method - and integrates mind, body, and spirit perspectives to support more balanced functioning.

Faith continuously reviews current treatment methods and adapts techniques to match each client’s needs. She aims to guide people toward clearer communication, healthier relationships, and more resilient coping so they can pursue a fuller sense of purpose and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Faith incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that can help with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulse-related challenges. In addition, Faith draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients and partners explore and reshape patterns of connection and attachment that underlie relationship pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Faith works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy stays responsive to each person’s changing circumstances.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and greater access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without added travel time.
