Kristi Lewis, LMHC

Kristi Lewis is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and stress. Kristi aims to make therapy a practical, steady part of daily life rather than a set of abstract tasks. She focuses on helping people get through tough life changes and workplace pressure. Sessions often cover communication challenges and relationship friction without assuming those problems mean anything about the person. Her work also addresses issues like codependency, caregiver stress, and impulsivity when those come up. Kristi uses straightforward strategies to build resilience and manage strong emotions. She helps clients develop healthier ways to cope and communicate. The aim is to leave each session with a small, usable plan to try between meetings. Her approach combines skills-based tools and empathetic listening. Clients who have faced trauma, addiction, or persistent worry can expect practical steps alongside supportive conversation. Kristi supports people as they sort out painful memories and daily triggers. People who value clear guidance and steady support tend to do well with her style. She emphasizes respect, honesty, and realistic goals. To start, she asks about what matters most now and what a better day would look like.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Kristi integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for intense emotional reactions or impulsivity. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will help choose or combine methods based on the client's goals, challenges, and preferences. That collaborative process starts by talking about what has or hasn’t worked before and what feels doable now. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from more locations. It also can allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed and make attending during a lunch break or between other commitments more feasible. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered for scheduling and session length.
