Misty Lewis, LCSW

Misty Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Kentucky and a bachelor’s degree at Morehead State University. She brings seven years of clinical experience helping adults facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use concerns, and major life changes. Her background includes work with grief and loss and other mental health challenges.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s worrying them. Together she and the client set clear, achievable goals and check progress along the way.

Misty uses practical methods that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, realistic steps that move a person toward their goals.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities and Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Sessions are aimed at building skills for coping with stress and anxiety, improving sleep, managing mood, and addressing substance-related problems.

Misty works with adults in Kentucky and accepts international clients. She explains treatment options in plain language and invites clients to collaborate on a plan that fits daily life and responsibilities.

How these approaches guide online work

Misty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s priorities and creates space for them to set the pace and topics of each session.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck about change. That approach focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and helps strengthen motivation in a respectful way. Together these methods aim to build skills and small steps that fit daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day routine. Then they will pick or blend methods that make sense for those goals in a collaborative way.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats. Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and Motivational Interviewing to remote sessions while focusing on practical tools that clients can use between meetings.
