Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Kristi Lewis uses evidence-informed approaches to address anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and interpersonal difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more constructive responses; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and strengthening motivation, which can be especially useful in work around addictions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristi works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods align best with a person’s goals, life context, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kristi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These options allow scheduling around work and family demands, maintain continuity when life is busy, and make it easier for clients to engage in regular therapy from locations that suit them.
