About Kristin
Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota. She offers calm, straightforward care for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. Kristin writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.
She uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals in focus. That means sessions start with what the person wants to work on and build from their strengths.
Background and approach
Kristin often uses practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of responding. When traumatic memories or intense reactions are present, she incorporates EMDR techniques to help process those experiences. Mindfulness practices are added to teach simple ways to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change and needs clear steps to move forward. Kristin draws on 14 years of clinical experience and adapts methods to the person in front of her. She aims for tomorrow's skills, not just talk, so people leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Her style is respectful, paced to each person's comfort, and focused on real-life results. People who want a down-to-earth therapist who blends listening with clear strategies may find her a good fit. Kristin works with individuals and with relationship and family concerns in ways that center each person's needs.
How Kristin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. Online, that means sessions begin with what the person wants and build steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process distressing memories and reactions by using structured techniques that can be adapted for remote work.Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust as needed. Kristin helps people weigh options and combines methods so the plan fits the client's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets the therapist and client work visually and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, written exercises, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules while still using the same therapeutic tools.
