About Faith

Faith Clark is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 19 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with related concerns such as attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and body image struggles.

Faith focuses on practical, person-centered work. Sessions usually begin by clarifying what feels most urgent and what small steps are realistic. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for handling overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used to support commitment to change and to build awareness.

She often helps people who feel isolated or avoid social situations by breaking challenges into manageable tasks and practicing new responses over time. For people coping with addiction or codependency, she blends skill-building with attention to underlying patterns such as attachment and control issues. Chronic pain or medical conditions are approached by integrating coping strategies with emotional support.

Faith describes her work as client-centered, focusing on the person's values and goals. She pays attention to experiences of abandonment, dissociation, and other trauma-related responses when they affect daily life. Her practice aims to strengthen everyday functioning and reduce the burden of recurring thoughts and behaviors.

Sessions are conducted in English in Minnesota. Prospective clients are encouraged to review session options and complete the intake steps before scheduling a first appointment.

How clinical approaches translate to online work

Faith often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can be practiced between sessions. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are taught step-by-step and rehearsed during meetings.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely to each person's concerns and priorities. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative: the therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer. This helps tailor skills and pacing to what feels doable.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. When arranging online sessions, people often find it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, hold shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online work can support regular practice of CBT and DBT exercises between meetings and makes it simpler to bring real-life examples into discussion. Ask about current session options when you set up the first appointment so logistics match your routine.
