Faith Clark

Faith Clark is a Minnesota LICSW with 19 years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She focuses on practical work to help clients reevaluate purpose, cope with life transitions, and rebuild self-esteem. Sessions are intended to be direct and focused on what people say matters most right now.

Clark combines client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit a person’s goals. This mix guides the work rather than a single rigid method.

She regularly supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and compassion fatigue. Other focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, body image, dissociation, and communication or control issues. Autism spectrum and personality-related difficulties are also among the topics she addresses.

In sessions, Clark aims to help people notice patterns and try small, observable changes. That can look like testing a different way to handle conflict, practicing a new coping skill, or breaking a big problem into manageable steps. Progress is tracked through concrete actions rather than abstract promises.

Her background emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies paired with conversational, client-centered interaction. People who feel stuck after a life change or who are unsure what to do next can expect focused attention on immediate problems and on clarifying the next small steps toward a more purposeful direction.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. In practice this means the therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects concerns back, and helps name what matters. It is useful when someone is unsure where to begin or needs to clarify values and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and for habits tied to addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with stress, self-control, and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That choice can shift as the work progresses and as different challenges arise.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter or focused check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain steady work on stress, purpose, and mood-related goals alongside daily responsibilities.
