About Kristin

Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Kristin aims to help people find practical ways to feel steadier and more in control.

Kristin uses a client-centered stance that starts by listening closely to each person's story.

Background and approach

From there she draws on evidence-based tools to match what will be most helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. She also incorporates EMDR therapy when trauma memories or intense reactions are part of the problem.

Mindfulness practices are offered to improve present-moment coping and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused work help people set clear goals and build small, manageable steps toward them. Kristin pays attention to how family of origin issues and communication problems shape current relationships.

She helps people strengthen communication, set boundaries, and repair conflict patterns. Parenting concerns are addressed with practical strategies that consider both child and caregiver needs. Her style is straightforward and warm, focusing on strengths while teaching skills people can use between sessions.

Kristin welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

How Kristin blends therapy approaches for online care

Kristin uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions focused on each person's priorities. That means she listens without judgment and shapes the work around what matters most to the client, which helps people feel heard and involved in treatment.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Kristin also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when past upsetting memories are driving current distress; EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of those memories and the strong reactions they trigger.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristin will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. The plan evolves with collaboration and regular check-ins to track progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when video is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
