About Morris

Dr. Morris Lewis trained at Michigan State University and holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. He has been licensed in Colorado since 2005 as CO Psychologist 0003035 and brings 25 years of experience to his work.

He focuses on practical, understandable help for common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career strain, and issues with self-esteem. He believes no single approach fits everyone. He starts by meeting people where they are and then builds from that point.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at clarifying emotions and thoughts, and at identifying everyday triggers that lead to unhelpful reactions. In practice he often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and change faulty thinking. He also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person's goals.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when the focus is on concrete steps and behavior change. Dr. Lewis’s style is straightforward and goal-oriented.

He helps people break concerns into manageable steps. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on small shifts that can reduce stress and improve relationships. He practices in Colorado as CO Psychologist 0003035 and conducts sessions in English.

Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the usual process.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing a person’s experience and shaping sessions around their goals. It helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and gives concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try specific techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process that balances short-term steps with longer-term change.

Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video and phone let conversations feel personal, while chat and messaging give flexible ways to check in between meetings. These options make it simpler to use CBT exercises or client-centered conversations from wherever the client is located.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
