About Fay
Fay Callam is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Alaska with 35 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, career issues, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Fay also addresses multicultural concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm. She works in English and accepts international clients.
Fay uses a person-centered approach in sessions. She emphasizes the client's role in setting goals and steering the work. That means conversations focus on what the person wants to achieve and practical steps to get there.
She integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and EMDR when appropriate. These tools are used to reduce symptoms, build skills, and process difficult memories. Fay explains options and discusses what might fit each person's situation.
Her background includes social work training at Columbia University and New York University, combined with a practice ethic rooted in client self-determination and respect. She also keeps a close eye on safety and risk while supporting personal decision making.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented. Fay concentrates on clear strategies people can use at home and in daily life. She aims to help people regain control over reactions, relationships, and routines.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Fay commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person wants to address and supports them in setting and reaching personal goals. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. EMDR is a phased method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Fay will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before recommending methods. That collaborative discussion helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and comfort level.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to focused skill practice or memory processing in virtual sessions, and Fay will explain how a chosen method will be used in remote appointments.
