Faith Sanders, LMHC

Faith Sanders is a licensed mental health counselor with nine years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. Her work is direct and practical, focused on problems that matter to daily life. Faith uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people make changes. She teaches tools for managing mood swings, reducing worry, and coping with cravings. Sessions include simple skill practice, short-term goals, and steps you can try between meetings. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness and acceptance work. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thinking, slow down reactions, and commit to actions that match their values. Faith also draws on DBT and solution-focused techniques for emotional regulation and concrete problem solving. She pays attention to family dynamics, blended family issues, parenting stress, and communication problems. She also supports people working through body image, codependency, eating-related concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. Faith aims to make therapy relevant to the situations people face every day. Faith practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. She emphasizes collaboration - you and she plan what to try, measure small wins, and adjust as needed. Her background as an MA LMHC informs a practical, compassionate style that centers the person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Faith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily challenges. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try an approach, check progress, and adjust methods so the work fits the person's life and aims.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel most like an in-person session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coping reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
