About Faith
Rev. Faith Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She blends pastoral perspectives with counseling to help adults facing relationship strain, family tensions, mood shifts, and addictive behavior. Her background spans hospitals, psychiatric and drug treatment settings, and church-based care.
She trained in clinical mental health counseling and pastoral care, and has completed Clinical Pastoral Education placements that included work at Emory University Hospital and the VA Medical Center in Atlanta. That mix of settings shaped a practical and person-focused way of working.
In sessions she emphasizes listening first, building rapport, and offering nonjudgmental support. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, yet adjusts methods to match what each person needs. Conversations are aimed at clearer thinking, small practical steps, and realistic goals.
Common concerns addressed include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also brings experience supporting people through medical or end-of-life stressors and veterans' concerns.
Her style is direct but warm. She helps people identify what matters, try doable changes, and track progress. Prospective clients who value a collaborative, values-aware approach may find this a helpful match.
Approaches used in online counseling and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building rapport. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals to move forward quickly and track small wins.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try strategies and adjust them when needed.
