About Kristen
Kristen Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Her tone is direct and approachable, and she focuses on building a trusting working relationship so people feel understood and heard.
Kristen uses everyday conversation plus practical steps to address problems. Sessions often pair discussion with concrete goals and exercises people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She values working together and helping clients take small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier moods. Her background includes work with adults across life stages and with members of the military community. Kristen draws on several evidence-informed approaches, choosing methods that match a person’s needs and goals rather than one single style.
She describes therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities guide the work. Common issues she addresses include trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Practical tools for communication problems, boundaries, and emotional regulation are typical parts of sessions. Kristen holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Colorado. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful, helping people find actions that fit their daily lives and values.
How Kristen’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on values and small actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of connecting and communicating, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most, and sessions are collaborative so the client stays in charge of the direction.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are like in-person meetings and work well for focused conversations and exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
