About Faith

Faith Clark is a Minnesota LICSW with 19 years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, and she also addresses related concerns such as attachment issues, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Faith uses practical, person-focused methods to help people make sense of painful feelings. She listens for how shame and guilt show up in daily life. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that keep people stuck, then try small, manageable changes.

Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is aimed at reducing rumination, improving emotion regulation, and building better coping for chronic stress or pain.

Faith often supports people coping with abandonment wounds, dissociation, body-image concerns, and the effects of autism or personality-related challenges. She also helps with communication problems, control issues, and the overlap of multiple diagnoses.

Work in sessions typically includes listening, reflecting, and offering exercises to practice between meetings. Faith frames progress as steady adjustments rather than immediate fixes. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Faith commonly combines client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work means the therapist listens carefully and reflects what matters most to the person, which helps clarify painful feelings such as guilt and shame. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans when something is not helping. This gives room for practical problem solving and skills practice rather than one fixed technique.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when stress spikes. Therapists generally adapt exercises and skill practices so people can use them between sessions and in daily routines.
