About Misty
Misty Faella, LMHC, holds a Rhode Island Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and has 17 years in practice. She works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, addictions, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD using a mix of approaches she describes in her own terms.
Misty emphasizes a client-centered style. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their life and uses dialogue to set goals. She combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with psychodynamic thinking, motivational interviewing, narrative ideas, and other human-centered methods to address problems day to day.
She has substantial experience with people affected by foster care and adoption and with adults who have had substance use treatment. That background informs work around grief, loss, neglect, abuse, and post-traumatic stress. She also brings practical strategies for impulsivity and attention-related concerns.
Sessions focus on clear, respectful conversation and active problem solving. Misty uses cognitive-behavioral tools to notice patterns and change unhelpful behaviors. She uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and narrative work to help people reframe difficult life stories.
The therapist adapts discussion and plans to each person’s needs. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on specific, observable steps a person can try between sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Misty works in Rhode Island and conducts therapy in English. Her LMHC credential is listed as RI LMHC and she brings 17 years of field experience to clinical work.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. In online sessions this means the therapist centers the client's concerns and adapts the conversation to what the person brings each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior. Online CBT often uses structured discussion and at-home practice tasks to target anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can shift as work progresses and as different skills are needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows use of worksheets and homework between meetings to keep momentum in everyday life.
