Kristi Lewis, LMHC

Kristi Lewis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her practice notes codependency as one of the concerns she addresses.

She guides conversations that focus on practical changes. Sessions often look at patterns that lead to people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling overwhelmed by others' problems. Kristi uses straightforward tools to help people notice habits, test new ways of responding, and build steadier routines.

Her background includes work with people managing substance use, domestic violence, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss. She also supports those struggling with dissociation, emptiness, guilt, shame, and impulsivity. First responder stress and caregiver strain are other areas she has experience with.

Kristi draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In session she blends idea-driven work with skills practice, short-term goal setting, and motivational conversation to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

People who connect with her tend to want clear steps and practical strategies. She helps them try small experiments, practice new boundaries, and develop communication skills. The work is focused on improving day-to-day functioning rather than labels or quick fixes.
