About Kristen
Kristen Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and focuses on helping people navigate trauma, relationship struggles, anxiety, and life changes. She centers sessions on each person’s strengths and goals.
Kristen uses straightforward conversation to make difficult topics easier to talk about. She helps people process past hurt, manage stress and addiction concerns, and work through grief and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and grounded in the client’s own story. Kristen draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and create small, manageable behavior changes.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone wants to change habits or needs extra support finding motivation. She has supported people through parenting worries, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to adoption, aging, and caregiver strain. Kristen also addresses anger, sleeping problems, low self-esteem, and issues tied to gender and sexual identity.
Kristen invites people to take the first step by sharing what matters most to them. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on practical steps to get there. Her style is collaborative and steady, aimed at helping people build a clearer path forward.

Online support
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Kristen blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape her online work. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely and follows each person's priorities so sessions feel respectful and focused. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or address low mood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone needs help finding the energy to change habits. That approach uses open questions and gentle guidance to increase motivation and make change feel doable. Together these approaches offer both validation and concrete steps that suit many concerns like addiction, parenting stress, or coping with grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristen will work together with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video works well for fuller conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
