About Kristi
Kristi Lewis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Kristi focuses on helping people manage tough emotions and day-to-day pressures.
She uses practical, skill-based methods in sessions. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes. She also teaches emotion regulation skills and strategies for reducing risky substance use when that is part of the problem.
Kristi has supported people through life changes, workplace strain, and relationship conflict. She helps people sort out what feels overwhelming, set manageable goals, and try out new ways of handling difficult moments. Sessions include direct skills practice and short-term planning when that fits the person’s needs.
Her style emphasizes clear steps and ongoing feedback. She combines techniques from different approaches to address symptoms and the situations that maintain them. The focus is on what the person wants to change and on measurable, practical progress.
People who prefer straightforward, skill-focused work often find this approach useful. Kristi explains tools in plain language and reviews how they worked between sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking a first appointment.
Kristi offers care in English and works from Florida under her FL LMHC credential. She does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
