About Kristen

Kristen Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on common problems that worry parents and adults. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes. Kristen also addresses ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

She practices in Colorado and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. Kristen keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps set clear goals you both agree on.

Background and approach

Conversations lead to small steps you can try between visits. She aims to make therapy feel like teamwork rather than a one-sided lecture. Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods.

Kristen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on trust and connection issues.

Sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving, and planning for real-life situations. Kristen speaks plain language and offers direct feedback when it will help. She believes practical change comes from repeated small actions over time.

Kristen holds LCSW and CSW credentials and has worked across clinical settings over nine years. Her work emphasizes clear communication, emotional awareness, and doable tools parents can use between meetings. If you want a practical, steady approach, she aims to help you move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kristen draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it focuses on values-based action to move forward. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and gives concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods to fit those needs. The first few meetings often include experimenting with techniques to see what feels most helpful and practical for daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. These options let parents and adults fit therapy around busy schedules and care responsibilities. The various formats also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to check in when real-life challenges come up.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
