About Kristi
Kristi Lewis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and stress in adults. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Kristi helps people talk through difficult emotions and life changes. She works with clients on workplace stress, relationship friction, and the fallout from separation or loss. Sessions concentrate on concrete skills and short-term goals as well as deeper emotional processing when it is needed.
Her approach balances practical strategies and emotional support. That can mean using CBT to identify unhelpful thinking, DBT skills to manage intense feelings, or Motivational Interviewing to address substance use. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, achievable goals and track progress.
Sessions often include skill practice, role-play for communication, and stepwise plans to reduce risky behaviors. Kristi pays attention to patterns such as codependency, impulsivity, dissociation, and personality-related concerns when those issues are present. She also addresses caregiver stress and first responder-related strain.
Kristi works with adults on issues like domestic violence recovery, grief, and addiction recovery. She expects to collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to use and to adjust the plan as needs change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online sessions using CBT typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing behavioral changes between sessions. This can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In teletherapy, DBT work often includes emotion regulation and distress tolerance exercises plus skills coaching and role-play in session. That approach can be useful for impulsivity and overwhelming distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and symptoms and recommend which methods to try first. The plan is adjusted collaboratively as progress is tracked.
