About Misty
Misty Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience helping adults cope with depression, anxiety, substance concerns, and major life changes. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky after completing her undergraduate studies at Morehead State University. Misty practices in Kentucky and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
She keeps things straightforward in sessions. Misty creates a calm space where people can talk about what is hardest for them.
Background and approach
She listens, helps set clear goals, and works alongside each person to reach those goals. Her work often addresses mood disorders like bipolar disorder, grief and loss, and the stress that comes with caregiving or health challenges. She also supports people dealing with addiction, anger, or relationship and communication problems.
Misty draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and develop practical steps forward. Misty uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns, and solution-focused ideas to map small, concrete changes.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing big changes. Sessions may combine different approaches depending on what a person needs. Misty encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so progress is easy to see.
She aims to help people build coping skills they can use after therapy ends.

How her approaches translate to online care
Misty blends client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing to help people make steady changes. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and moves at their pace; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and actions together and teaches practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and find personal reasons to move forward.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Misty will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those priorities. She checks in often and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working, so the therapy stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging can help with quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
