About Kristin
Kristin Lewis is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, life transitions, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She uses a collaborative, strengths-based stance to meet clients where they are and to help them identify practical strategies that fit their lives. Kristin brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work in Minnesota and welcomes clients who are seeking support for communication problems, family of origin issues, and ongoing family conflicts.
Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when appropriate. Kristin aims to help clients clarify goals, test unhelpful thoughts, and develop skills for coping with stressors and relationship patterns.
She emphasizes working together to process difficult experiences and to build on each person’s strengths so they can move forward with greater confidence and balance.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy as part of her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's experience, offering a respectful, empathetic space where goals and timing are guided by the person seeking support.She also integrates EMDR when trauma processing is indicated; this approach involves structured techniques to help process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. Together these methods can be tailored to address relationship patterns, parenting concerns, communication difficulties, and coping with life changes in a paced, collaborative manner.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kristin works with clients to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting interventions over time as progress and preferences evolve. This collaborative exploration helps ensure therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives and to continue care across distances. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, skill-building, and check-ins while accommodating different communication styles and daily routines.
