About Kristen

Kristen Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker with nine years of practice who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, depression, grief, trauma and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings a direct yet approachable manner to sessions and emphasizes collaborative goal-setting so clients can pair insight with concrete steps toward change. Her work also includes support for self-esteem, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, bipolar mood management, compassion fatigue, and caregiving stress.

Kristen believes in building a trusting therapeutic relationship as a foundation for exploration and growth. She blends conversational, client-centered engagement with evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-oriented therapies, and draws on attachment-informed perspectives to clarify patterns in relationships.

Based in Colorado and licensed as an LCSW and CSW, she frames therapy as a cooperative process that honors each person’s priorities while advancing practical skills and coping strategies to manage symptoms and life demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kristen frequently draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. ACT helps clients clarify values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while developing more flexible responses to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep disruption.

She also uses attachment-informed ideas to explore how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and communication. Together with clients she reviews which methods feel most useful and adapts strategies based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences to find the best fit through a collaborative process.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy lives and different communication preferences. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or medical needs and allow continued access to therapeutic tools and skills between sessions.
