Nikki Lewis-Clark , LCPC

Nikki Lewis-Clark is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with 24 years of experience in mental health care. She began her career supporting family reunification efforts for children removed from their homes due to neglect and abuse, and more recently completed training as a Diversity and Inclusion Counselor to better serve service members and their families.

Nikki works with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, grief and loss, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses complex matters such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiver stress, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and intimacy-related or alternative sexuality topics. She accepts international clients and offers flexible ways to work together.

Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and grounded in empathy while remaining direct and honest when needed. She draws from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, dialectical behavior techniques, and emotionally-focused strategies, and integrates mindfulness, solution-focused, and rational-emotive elements to shape individualized treatment plans. Nikki tailors dialogue and goals to each person she sees, focusing on practical tools and education to support change.

Nikki emphasizes building rapport as the foundation for effective therapy and aims to empower clients through teaching skills, offering guidance, and collaborating on clear, achievable steps toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Nikki integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice to address a wide range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and safety in relationships, helping people understand how early bonds influence current interactions and attachment-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals guide the work and the therapist offers support without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nikki collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adapts techniques as the work evolves to ensure a good fit and meaningful progress.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect across distances, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic approaches they would in person.
