About Kristin
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in Minnesota with 14 years of clinical experience. Kristin Lewis works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She uses client-centered approaches alongside evidence-based methods such as CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
Kristin focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and EMDR to address memories tied to trauma. Conversations are aimed at finding small, concrete steps that change day-to-day interactions and mood.
Her background includes graduate work and clinical practice in family therapy settings. Over 14 years she has worked with individuals and adults coping with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and parenting strains. That experience informs how she guides people through relationship patterns and repetitive conflicts.
Sessions emphasize skill-building and problem solving alongside deeper emotional processing. Kristin uses motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness for change and commitment to goals. Treatment plans blend short-term strategies with longer work on painful memories when needed.
People who choose her often want direct tools for anxiety, clearer communication at home, or help managing anger and parenting stress. She invites a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client's pace and priorities, helping people clarify goals and choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. Online CBT sessions often include worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice skills between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing disturbing memories; in telehealth it uses guided bilateral stimulation and memory-focused sets to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review symptoms, history, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust methods over time so the work fits changing needs. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life because it removes travel time and allows sessions from different locations. Some methods translate well to remote work - for example, CBT homework and mindfulness exercises are easy to use between sessions, while EMDR protocols can be adapted for remote guided processing. The emphasis is on practical steps you can use between sessions and on making therapy fit around busy schedules.Sheet 3
