About Nikki
Nikki Lewis-Clark is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and a wide range of other concerns including phobias and ADHD. Her tone is direct but compassionate and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She began by helping reunify families after child neglect and abuse and has since worked in many settings.
Background and approach
That early experience shaped her interest in attachment and family origins. Nikki also has experience with service members and diversity and inclusion work with military families. Her counseling style is warm and interactive.
She prioritizes building rapport and being straightforward in session. Clients can expect both empathy and honest feedback as part of the conversation. Nikki draws on several approaches to shape treatment.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and client-centered listening to guide the pace of work. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are also woven in when useful. Sessions focus on practical tools and small steps people can practice between meetings.
She helps people set clear goals, practice new behaviors, and track progress. International clients may work with her in English through a variety of online formats. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand bond and trust issues that show up in adult relationships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors for anxiety, depression, and phobias.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the problem and adjust based on what feels most helpful over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings and keep momentum with brief updates or skills practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel, or caregiving duties while keeping a steady course of support.
