Kristin Lewis, LMFT

Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with an MS - Master of Science - and 14 years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She builds a therapy space grounded in respect, meeting each person where they are in their life and helping them draw on their existing strengths to address challenges.

She works with individuals, couples, and families to improve communication, resolve conflict, and process experiences that have caused distress or trauma. Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD, as well as issues tied to family of origin and communication patterns.

Kristin practices from a client-centered perspective and adapts evidence-based methods to fit each person or family. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and uses approaches such as EMDR, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing when appropriate. Her work emphasizes collaboration, practical strategies, and empowering clients to make meaningful changes.

Kristin welcomes people seeking support through different stages of life and aims to partner with them to clarify goals, reduce distress, and strengthen relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kristin draws from client-centered therapy, which prioritizes respect, active listening, and meeting people where they are - an approach that supports growth during life transitions and relationship work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior, making it useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday stressors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach to help process the effects of traumatic experiences and reduce the intensity of distressing memories when that approach is a good fit.

Choosing the right method is part of the collaborative work. Kristin works with each person to determine which approaches align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles, locations, and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from afar, and integrate therapy into busy lives without sacrificing consistency.
