About Kristen
Kristen Lewis is an LCSW with nine years of clinical experience who works from Colorado and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and other life challenges.
Background and approach
She emphasizes practical skills alongside conversational exploration to help clients identify patterns that are getting in the way of daily functioning and satisfaction. Kristen draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Her style is direct yet approachable, focusing on collaborative goal-setting and concrete actions that complement deeper personal reflection. She frames therapy as a partnership that balances meaningful exploration with steps toward change.
With a background that includes work with a range of adult populations, Kristen prioritizes building a trustworthy therapeutic relationship and helping clients move through periods that can feel isolating or overwhelming. She offers flexible session formats and assists people in tailoring strategies to their circumstances and goals.
Approaches that guide online care and practical change
Kristen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address both thinking patterns and values-based action. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning new skills to modify behaviors and emotional responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and anger. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences and committing to actions that align with personal values, useful for coping with life changes, chronic stress, and feelings of emptiness.She frames therapy as a collaborative process and will work with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs and goals. That collaboration includes trying strategies, checking how they land in daily life, and adjusting methods based on what the client finds most helpful, rather than assuming a single method will suit everyone.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow continued work during transitions or travel, and support steady momentum between sessions through messaging when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across these formats to focus on skills practice, reflective conversation, and goal-focused planning.
