About Kristin
Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on easing anxiety and stress for people juggling everyday life. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Kristin draws on 14 years of clinical experience to help people sort through relationship strain, family problems, parenting pressures, and mood concerns like depression. She also works with people affected by trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on listening first and matching strategies to the person in front of her. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to build on a person’s strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
For people who have experienced trauma, she offers EMDR as one option among others to process difficult memories. Kristin blends practical skills with mindful practices and motivational interviewing to help people set small, realistic goals. She helps people practice new communication habits and tackle family of origin issues that keep showing up in adult life.
People can expect a steady, collaborative process that focuses on clear steps and real-life change. Kristin works from Minnesota and provides care in English for both local and international clients via online formats.
Approaches for online anxiety and relationship work
Kristin commonly blends client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s own strengths, which helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people processing trauma. EMDR uses guided attention alongside memory work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist works with the client to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Kristin is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work visually and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins and flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping treatment focused and practical.
