About Kristen
Kristen Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of professional experience. She practices from Colorado and works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, and sleep difficulties.
She helps people talk through what gets in the way of daily wellbeing. Kristen uses direct conversation and goal-focused work. She explains options clearly and helps make small changes that add up over time.
Her approach combines talking and practical skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to examine ways early relationships shape current reactions.
Kristen often pairs insight with action. Sessions may involve practicing communication techniques, building emotional regulation skills, or setting short experiments to test what works. She describes the work as collaborative - therapist and client set goals together and track progress.
Her background includes work with military-connected adults and a range of life challenges such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and major life transitions. Kristen also supports people navigating ADHD, codependency, commitment concerns, and first responder issues.
She offers straightforward, practical help for people who want clearer thinking, fewer explosive reactions, and steadier relationships. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people stop fighting inner experiences and commit to behaviors that match what matters to them, which can reduce reactive responses like anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to test unhelpful thinking and practice different responses to anger triggers.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Kristen works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean combining skills from ACT and CBT with attachment-focused conversation to address relationship patterns that fuel anger.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify which online options are used. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so people can maintain consistency. Therapists can guide practical skill practice between sessions and help set simple experiments that fit into everyday routines.
