About Misty
Misty Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use concerns, grief, and the stress of life changes.
Misty earned a bachelor's degree at Morehead State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky. She has provided clinical care for several years in community and clinical settings, focusing on common mood concerns and addiction-related problems.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented. Sessions are collaborative; she helps people set clear goals and breaks those goals into manageable steps. Misty relies on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her work. Those methods emphasize listening and supporting a person's own reasons for change. In sessions she will ask about what matters most, then shape the work around those priorities.
Misty lists family and relationship concerns among her focus areas, along with intimacy-related issues and caregiver stress. She also notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, blended family matters, cancer-related stress, and several other practical life stresses people bring to therapy.
Sessions are offered in English and Misty accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, interested people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Misty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as core parts of her work. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to change how you feel. Client-Centered Therapy centers on active listening and shaping goals around what matters most to the person seeking help.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing in moments when someone is weighing change. That approach helps you clarify your own reasons for change and supports step-by-step movement toward your goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions; she will review options and work with you to choose what fits your goals and preferences.
