About Misty Faella

Misty Faella is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Rhode Island with 17 years of clinical experience. She has worked across the lifespan with children, adolescents, and adults, including many young people who have navigated the child welfare system, foster care, and adoption. That background has given her substantial experience addressing grief and loss as well as trauma related to neglect and abuse.

Her work with adults has included supporting people through substance use treatment and addressing common concerns such as anxiety, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). She also focuses on parenting challenges, anger, addictions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and social anxiety among other areas listed in her specialties.

Faella’s counseling style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. She views each person as the expert in their own life and emphasizes support, guidance, and empowerment to help people make meaningful changes. Her clinical approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic perspectives, Motivational Interviewing, narrative elements, and trauma-informed practices, with treatment and dialogue tailored to each individual’s needs.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s perspective and goals drive the work - it helps people gain insight and build confidence in their own decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, commonly applied in work around addictions and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Misty Faella works with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques collaboratively rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals like Misty Faella when in-person sessions are not feasible, while allowing session styles to match individual comfort and practical needs.
