Rev. Faith Richardson, LPC

Rev. Faith Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She combines a counseling background with pastoral training to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship strain, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. She works in a direct, respectful way that centers each person's concerns.

Faith trained in psychology and counseling and also completed pastoral education, including placements at hospitals and a VA medical center. Her background includes work in psychiatric and drug treatment settings and church-based care. This mix of clinical and pastoral settings shapes how she listens and responds.

Her day-to-day style is collaborative and practical. She emphasizes rapport and unconditional positive regard, aiming to build trust before moving toward goals. Sessions often focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.

Clinical methods Faith uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, adapted to the situation. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person's priorities.

People usually come for help with grief, life transitions, family dynamics, spiritual concerns, women’s issues, veterans' concerns, and coping with chronic illness. She supports individuals who want to clarify values, reduce distress, and find realistic next steps.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for people to say what they need and then follows their pace, which helps when clients are sorting priorities or values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes, which can reduce anxiety and low mood over time.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on realistic next steps and strengths. It helps people identify what would be different if things improved and then plans short, achievable actions toward that outcome.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use the same CBT and solution-focused exercises remotely, adapting assignments and follow-up to suit each client's daily routine.
