About Kristin
Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, relationship strains, parenting pressures, anxiety, and changes in their life. Kristin uses clear, practical steps so parents and partners can make small changes that add up.
With 14 years of experience, Kristin centers sessions on each person's strengths. She uses a client-centered stance, listening first and adapting strategies to fit real-world needs. That means conversations are grounded in what matters most to the client, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Kristin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also incorporates EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate, and draws on mindfulness practices to reduce stress and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques show up when the goal is clearer decision making or faster practical shifts.
In sessions she helps people improve communication, untangle family-of-origin patterns, and handle parenting challenges with more confidence. She addresses issues such as anger, low self-esteem, depression, and difficulties related to ADHD in everyday terms.
To begin, Kristin asks people to describe what’s most pressing and what they hope to change. From there she and the client agree on concrete steps and realistic goals. Her style aims to be respectful, direct, and focused on usable skills.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy starts by asking what matters most to the person and tailoring sessions to those priorities. It focuses on listening, understanding each person's perspective, and building on strengths to make change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to improve mood and relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process traumatic memories through structured procedures and can be offered remotely when appropriate for the individual's needs.Finding the right mix of approaches is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to test what methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer. That teamwork helps create a plan that feels doable and relevant.
Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy family schedules and reduce travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule a short check-in on a break, join a session from different locations, or try therapeutic exercises at home between meetings. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current options before booking to know how sessions will be delivered.
