About Kristi
Kristi Lewis is a Florida-licensed therapist with 14 years of clinical experience who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and stress. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate difficult life transitions, workplace pressure, and challenges in relationships.
Background and approach
As an LMHC she combines structured tools with a compassionate stance to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Her style blends skill-building and empathic support so clients can address past wounds and develop healthier patterns in the present.
Kristi emphasizes resilience, clearer communication, and actionable strategies that fit daily life. She creates a collaborative atmosphere where goals are clarified and progress is measured, while honoring each person’s pace and individual story.
In sessions she draws on techniques that encourage problem solving and emotional regulation, helping clients move from feeling stuck to gaining practical options for change. Her practice aims to translate insights into sustainable habits that support long-term wellbeing for those working through grief, addiction, trauma, or persistent stress.
Online approaches for skill building and coping
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding; it helps people reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by learning concrete strategies for thought and behavior change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship challenges.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the specific problems they want to address, and then tailor a mix of approaches that fits those needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan evolves with their progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of formats makes it easier to attend sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, use skills in real time, and maintain continuity of care when schedules are busy. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to whichever communication method feels most practical for the client.
