Kristen Lewis, LCSW, CSW

Kristen Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems with self-esteem. She is direct and approachable and focuses on clear conversation paired with practical steps. Her work emphasizes building safer, more helpful patterns in daily life so clients feel steadier and more able to move forward.

Kristen draws on nine years of experience and uses several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-informed ideas to address relationship patterns, communication problems, and persistent worry. Sessions aim to identify what gets in the way and set small, doable goals to change it.

Her background includes substantial work with the military community and with adults across the lifespan. That experience informs how she talks about stress, transitions, grief, and role-related pressures. Kristen also supports people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, first responder stress, and career-related challenges.

In sessions she emphasizes honest, collaborative problem solving. Conversation is balanced with action steps, skill practice, and homework suited to real life. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Kristen holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices from Colorado. She offers therapy in English and does not work with international clients.

Approaches to relationships and life challenges online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants clearer direction on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns for issues like anxiety, sleep, and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connection patterns that formed early and still shape how someone relates to others; it can help with intimacy, communication problems, and feelings of isolation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristen will collaborate with each person to figure out the best fit based on goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying different exercises or combining approaches until something feels practical and helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera every time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on skill practice, communication work, and real-world problem solving that carry over into daily life.
