About Faith

Faith Sanders is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of clinical experience supporting people facing addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-based tools to help clients manage grief, build self-esteem, cope with mood disorders, and navigate challenges such as parenting stress, career changes, and substance concerns. Her work also addresses a wide range of related issues including body image, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.

Faith emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based style that blends practical skill-building with attention to values and meaning. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance-oriented and mindfulness-informed methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop new coping strategies, and move toward goals like improved communication, reduced anxiety, or healthier boundaries.

Clients who seek work on forgiveness, guilt, isolation, or blended family concerns can expect a compassionate, structured approach. Based in Florida and licensed as an LMHC (MA LMHC LMHC10001373, FL LMHC MH17516), she offers care in English and accepts international clients.

Her practice aims to support personal growth and resilience through tailored, goal-focused interventions.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Faith commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship stress, and then develop practical skills to change those patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-driven change and help people tolerate difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are employed when clients need concrete tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and life circumstances with each client and adjusts methods over time so the work aligns with what matters most to the person seeking help. This fosters a tailored plan that combines skill practice, reflective work, and goal setting.

Online therapy with Faith is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use brief or longer sessions as needed while working toward practical, measurable progress.
