About Nikki
Nikki Lewis-Clark is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Montana. She brings a calm, direct style and two decades-plus of experience to people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and other life disruptions. She began her career helping families reunify after child removal for neglect or abuse.
Over the years she has broadened that work to include people facing depression, addiction, career shifts, intimacy concerns, and chronic health or caregiving stress.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting LGBT clients and those with attachment or adoption-related issues. Nikki uses a warm, interactive approach that focuses on building rapport. She combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness and client-centered dialogue.
She is straightforward and compassionate, and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to teach skills you can use outside of therapy. That can mean learning ways to manage anxiety, setting boundaries, improving communication, or building routines for sleep and eating.
Nikki encourages small, doable steps so changes feel manageable. She has worked with service members and their families and has training in diversity and inclusion practices related to that work. Her background includes long-term clinical experience across community and family systems settings, and she draws on that range when shaping a plan with each person.
People who want a practical, respectful therapist who listens and gives direct feedback may find her approach helpful. She accepts sessions in English and meets with clients both in Montana and internationally through online formats.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in closeness and work on healthier ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management in short or longer online work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift core emotions that affect relationship patterns, which can be useful when addressing intimacy or family concerns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they set priorities and try tools, then adjust the plan based on what’s helpful in real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and role-play. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling-style reflections, or continued coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use new skills when life gets busy.
