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. Her clinical journey began in family reunification work with children removed from their homes due to neglect and abuse, and more recently she trained as a Diversity and Inclusion Counselor to support service members and their families. Over the years she has developed broad experience addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, grief and loss, family of origin issues, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, with an emphasis on building strong rapport as the foundation for change. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and values empathy while maintaining direct and honest communication. Nikki adapts her work to individual needs, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and rational-emotive counseling to shape a treatment plan that fits each client.

She aims to help people learn and apply practical tools that support lasting change, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process that empowers clients to take courageous steps toward their goals. Nikki welcomes individuals ready to begin that work and offers support to help them move forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and connection

Nikki Lewis-Clark integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in remote therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people repair relational wounds and build more secure bonds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client s own goals guide the work and the therapist reflects and supports the client s autonomy and self-discovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nikki works collaboratively with each client to choose and adjust methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Nikki is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from wherever a client is located and allow therapists and licensed professionals to adapt sessions to what works best for the client.
