About Kristen
Kristen Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Social Worker (CSW) with nine years of experience. She practices in Colorado and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, career challenges, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Kristen aims for direct, practical conversation. She uses talk plus action to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions focus on clearer communication, setting goals, and learning skills that make day-to-day life easier.
Her background includes work with the military community and adults across the lifespan. That work shaped her straightforward approach and focus on concrete strategies. She pays attention to attachment and how early patterns affect current relationships.
In practice she draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches are used to address emotion regulation, relationship patterns, stress management, and decision-making.
Kristen describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. She helps people set short-term goals and practices to try between sessions. The work is aimed at improving how someone handles anger, frustration, and ongoing stress rather than promising quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger leads to avoidance or repeated conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce reactivity and improve problem solving. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood-related triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristen collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the situations that cause anger. She combines talk and practice, and checks in to adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time on workdays. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and skills practice for video or phone meetings so the work stays practical and focused on real-life situations.
