Kristin Lewis

Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the impacts of trauma. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy feel understandable. Kristin focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier.

She uses a client-centered stance that meets people where they are. That means listening first, then tailoring tools that fit each person's situation. Kristin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change thoughts that get in the way of feeling better.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when trauma and abuse are central concerns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas when those methods match a client's goals.

With 14 years of experience as an LMFT in Minnesota, Kristin emphasizes strengths and clear next steps. She helps people work through family of origin issues, communication problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related challenges.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most, try practical changes, and build on what already works. The goal is to make everyday life feel more manageable and connected.

How Kristin's approaches translate to online care

Kristin uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of trauma and abuse, helping people process difficult memories and reduce their everyday impact. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, respect, and shaping work around a person's goals and pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will work with each person to decide which methods make sense given their goals and preferences, and she adapts tools over time as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with Kristin about what will work best for you and how to structure sessions so they support your day-to-day life.
