About Faith
Faith Clark is a licensed clinical social worker in Minnesota with 19 years of practice. She focuses on somatic-informed work alongside conversational therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. Her style is practical and steady, aimed at making small changes feel doable in daily life.
Faith helps people untangle low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues like attachment concerns, body image, and the stress that comes with caregiving or chronic illness.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around what each person needs in the moment rather than a fixed script. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with concrete skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches. That combination supports emotion regulation, clearer thinking, and healthier habits.
Mindfulness and body-focused techniques are used where they help calm the nervous system and reduce physical tension. Faith draws on nearly two decades of experience to guide treatment planning and adjustments. She pays attention to how feelings show up in the body and in relationships, then helps clients practice different responses.
The aim is more ease in day-to-day life and stronger self-support. People who come for help can expect straightforward language and step-by-step tools. The work often includes learning coping skills, trying new behaviors, and noticing how the body reacts to stress.
Progress is tracked in ways that matter to the person in therapy.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Somatic-informed work notices how stress and emotion show up in the body. Online sessions can include guidance in noticing breath, posture, and gentle body sensations to reduce tension and support regulation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's priorities and experience, offering open listening and reflection so people feel heard and directed toward their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, how they respond to different methods, and what feels most doable. Together they try approaches and adjust as needed, combining somatic noticing, skill practice, and reflective conversation when that fits the client.
Online work offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video supports face-to-face interaction and body awareness, while phone or text options can feel easier on busy days or for quick check-ins. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a routine and to practice skills between conversations.
