About Nikki

Nikki Lewis-Clark is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, substance issues, and anger. She also supports people coping with career pressure, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and life transitions.

Her early work focused on family reunification after child removal for neglect or abuse. That background shaped a practical, direct style that balances clear feedback with respectful interaction. She has also done Diversity and Inclusion work with service members and their families.

In sessions she uses straightforward methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior ideas, attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused techniques, and client-centered listening. Clients can expect conversations that teach skills for managing strong feelings, changing unhelpful patterns, and improving communication.

Nikki pays attention to relational patterns that come from family history, abandonment, or attachment issues. She also brings experience addressing complex concerns like co-morbidity, chronic illness, and codependency. She describes her role as both educational and practical - helping people try tools and notice what works.

She welcomes questions about how therapy can fit into day-to-day life and what a first session looks like. International clients may be accepted; sessions are conducted in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand how early bonds affect current anger and trust, and supports learning new ways to connect and respond.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger. Sessions often include skill practice and simple exercises to try between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes techniques for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nikki will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That choice can shift as progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into a workday, cut commuting time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it possible to keep consistent appointments while traveling or managing a busy schedule.
