About Misty
Misty Faella is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Rhode Island with 17 years of experience. She offers a warm, interactive style that centers on each person's experience. Misty listens without labels and helps people find practical steps toward change.
She commonly helps with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma from neglect or abuse, attention difficulties related to ADHD, and post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
Parents and caregivers often come for help with communication, impulsivity, and the strain of caregiving. Misty draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered techniques to build trust and CBT to name and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen commitment to change, and narrative and psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns from past experiences. In sessions she keeps the focus practical and respectful. Conversations are collaborative; she treats the client as the expert on their life and offers guidance and tools.
Goals and plans are tailored to fit a person's day-to-day routine and capacities. Misty has a lengthy background working with children and adolescents who experienced foster care and adoption, and she has worked with adults affected by substance use treatment. Her experience informs a steady, empathetic approach to trauma, loss, and life transitions.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, builds trust, and helps people identify their own priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact; it teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, anger, and mood by changing patterns of thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by clarifying goals and strengthening motivation to act.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about concerns, goals, and what feels most helpful, then tailor the approach. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people connect face to face when schedules allow, while phone sessions can be easier when a lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or caregiving routines and to keep care consistent during life changes.
