About Kristin
Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Minnesota with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults who want to manage stress, anger, relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma and parenting challenges. Sessions address everyday struggles like snapping at loved ones, mounting resentment, workplace frustration, and problems with communication.
Kristin uses a client-centered foundation. That means conversations focus on the person's concerns and priorities. She blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also incorporates EMDR for clients who are processing traumatic memories and uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and rebuild calm. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs support finding the next step.
In sessions Kristin helps people name what gets in the way of better responses, practice different choices, and test new patterns between meetings. She pays attention to family of origin themes and how those old patterns show up now.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She aims to help people build strategies they can use in real life, whether that means managing anger at work, repairing a relationship, or coping with big life changes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristin commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the concerns you bring and on practical next steps you agree to. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that fuel reactions like anger and offers concrete strategies to change them.She also uses EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity and the strong emotional reactions they trigger. It is often used when past events continue to shape present-day responses.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That process helps find tools that actually work for your day-to-day life.
The original profile does not list session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so therapy can happen between work or family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and EMDR-style processing to remote sessions when those formats are offered.
