About Kristin
Kristin Lewis is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota who supports parents and individuals facing stress around family life and parenting. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage anxiety, anger, and the everyday strain of relationships.
Kristin uses clear language and straightforward tools so parents can try things between sessions and see what works for their household. Kristin draws on a client-centered stance that keeps the person's needs and goals in front.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior, and EMDR for people processing traumatic memories. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when helping people build steady habits and stay engaged in change. Her work pays attention to how family history affects present problems.
She helps people untangle family of origin issues and communication problems so they can reduce conflict and rebuild connection. She supports those dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and life transitions tied to parenting and relationships. Sessions emphasize simple, achievable actions.
Kristin helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of talking with loved ones. She aims to make therapy feel relevant and doable for busy parents. With 14 years of clinical experience, Kristin brings steady experience to sessions in Minnesota and with international clients.
She offers multiple online options to fit different schedules and family demands.

Approaches that translate to online parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on the parent's goals and experience. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to build solutions that fit family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that affect parenting. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process traumatic memories that may be getting in the way of functioning as a parent or partner.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kristin will work with each client to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and needs. Sessions often combine approaches so the plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities arise.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit care into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or multitasking is needed, live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around childcare, work, and family routines while still accessing licensed professionals and focused therapeutic work.
