About Misty
Misty Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky and a bachelor’s degree from Morehead State University. Misty brings seven years of clinical experience helping adults manage depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance concerns, and major life changes.
Her practice emphasizes a calm, respectful atmosphere where people can speak honestly about what’s hard. Sessions focus on setting clear, practical goals. Misty uses straightforward talk, problem solving, and real-world strategies to help people make small changes that add up.
She draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify immediate steps to move forward. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and rhythm in sessions.
Misty also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change when substance use or other habits are involved. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work around relationship and intimacy-related issues by helping people notice and name emotions. Together these methods guide short- and longer-term work depending on the concern.
People often come for stress, grief, codependency, caregiver strain, or challenges with mood and relationships. Misty encourages practical skill building, regular check-ins on goals, and adjustments to the plan as needs change.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead; the therapist offers support and reflection while clients guide their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs a gentle setting to sort feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many everyday stressors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and sit with emotions so relationships and intimacy issues can be addressed more clearly. It can be helpful when strong feelings get in the way of connection or decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily needs, and how a person prefers to work, then suggest a blend of methods. This is collaborative and can change as goals shift.

Ask about the current session options when you schedule to find what best fits your routine and needs.
