About Kristen
Kristen Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Social Worker (CSW) with nine years of professional experience. She practices in Colorado and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Kristen uses clear, conversational talk alongside goal-focused action. She helps people name what feels difficult and then makes a plan to try different ways of coping. Sessions tend to blend practical skills with discussion about patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she may work on noticing unhelpful thoughts, building emotion regulation skills, clarifying values, and looking at how early attachments affect current relationships.
Her background includes work with military-connected adults and people across adult age ranges. Kristen describes herself as direct and approachable and emphasizes collaborative goal-setting. She aims to help people take steps they can use between sessions.
People looking for help with caregiver stress, communication problems, codependency, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, first responder issues, or feelings of isolation may find practical support.

How sessions work
How Kristen uses therapy approaches online
Kristen works from several evidence-informed methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that aligns with those values, while also learning to notice difficult thoughts without letting them dictate behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and teach practical coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current reactions, which can help when intimacy or communication causes recurring pain.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life context, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is an adaptive process that may combine skills practice, values work, and relationship-focused exploration over time.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, take shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel, and continue work between in-person visits. Licensed professionals can still use exercises, worksheets, and skills coaching in online settings to support day-to-day change.
