About Kristin
Kristin Lewis is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Minnesota with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. Kristin speaks English and accepts international clients.
Kristin uses a client-centered way of working. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tries practical strategies to change them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and challenge negative thinking. She also draws on EMDR and mindfulness tools when people bring trauma or intense emotional reactions.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small experiments. Conversations include skill practice, behavior changes, and steps to improve communication with important people. Kristin also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people move toward concrete next steps.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She listens for what is already working and builds on those strengths while suggesting concrete alternatives. Progress is tracked with short, specific exercises and clear targets rather than long, abstract plans.
People usually leave sessions with one or two things to try between meetings. Kristin explains techniques in plain language and checks that each step fits the person’s life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a first scheduled session are used to set initial goals.
How Kristin applies practical approaches in online sessions
Kristin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered conversation. CBT is a short description of ways to notice and test unhelpful thoughts, try specific behavior changes, and track small gains. It tends to help with anxiety, low mood, and stress by turning broad worries into concrete steps and experiments. EMDR is offered for people whose trauma memories cause strong emotions or stuck reactions; it involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of those memories and the reactions they trigger.Deciding what to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns and goals, discuss which methods fit best, and adjust the plan as you try techniques. Expect regular check-ins about what helps and what needs to change so sessions stay practical and focused on real-life improvements.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins around work or caregiving. Some people prefer audio-only meetings when video is not practical, while others choose video for face-to-face interaction. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your schedule and technical setup.
