About Nikki

Nikki Lewis-Clark is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Montana. She brings 24 years of clinical experience and a practical, empathetic style to sessions. Parents and caregivers often seek her out for help with stress, parenting challenges, family tensions, and relationship concerns.

She also works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and major life changes. Nikki began her career supporting family reunification after child removal for neglect and abuse.

Background and approach

That early work shaped her calm, direct approach to difficult family issues. Over the years she added training in diversity and inclusion, including work with service members and their families. These experiences inform how she listens and responds to different life situations.

In sessions she is warm and interactive and focuses on building trust first. She pairs clear feedback with practical tools clients can use between meetings. Her counseling blends cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and emotion-focused work to address patterns and skills.

Her aim is to help people sort through stressful moments, identify workable changes, and practice new ways of relating. She encourages clients to try strategies in real life and report back what helped. Progress often comes through steady practice rather than quick fixes.

Nikki offers work that is respectful, straightforward, and goal-oriented. She supports people who want concrete help managing emotions, improving relationships, or navigating major transitions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Online approaches for family and relationship needs

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early bonds shape current relationships. It focuses on understanding patterns of connection and helps people change how they respond when they feel threatened or disconnected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches clear, step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nikki will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She adjusts techniques as progress and needs become clearer, so the plan evolves with the client.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These options let people keep regular contact, practice skills between meetings, and check in when challenges arise. The variety of formats supports continuity and flexibility, helping clients maintain momentum while juggling family, work, and other demands.

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.

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.
