Faith Clark, LICSW

Faith Clark is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people untangle overwhelming thoughts and build practical coping skills for everyday life.

She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also addresses low self-esteem and compassion fatigue that can follow caring roles. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into a busy life.

Faith brings 19 years of clinical experience to her work. She blends client-centered care with tools from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used to support change when people feel stuck.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She helps people name what matters, try new ways of responding, and build routines that support recovery and resilience. Practical exercises and short skill practices are often part of sessions.

Faith also pays attention to related issues such as attachment patterns, body image, communication problems, codependency, chronic pain and caregiver stress. She aims to help people recover a sense of control and purpose after difficult experiences. Her language is plain and her pacing adapts to each person's needs.

How CBT, DBT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Faith uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete skill-based changes that reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. Client-centered methods offer space for people to tell their story and set goals at their own pace.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily routines, then try strategies that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy here is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and use of worksheets in session. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging offer ongoing written check-ins and brief skill prompts between sessions, helping people practice new habits in daily life.
