Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kristi
Kristi Lewis incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing to tailor care to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills to reframe thoughts and manage symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; this approach supports people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or challenging relationships by offering concrete skills for handling difficult moments. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore ambivalence about change and strengthen their own motivation, which can be especially helpful for substance use and behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristi works collaboratively with clients to assess their goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds to find what fits best.
Online therapy with Kristi offers flexibility in how care is delivered - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can select the communication style that matches their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, integrate therapy into daily life, and access a licensed professional from a convenient location.
