Michele Lewis

Michele Lewis, LISW, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri and Iowa and a qualified mental health professional who has been providing therapy for 26 years. She is also a certified clinical tele-mental health provider, a certified clinical trauma professional, and a grief professional, bringing specialized training to online care and to work with trauma and loss.

Her work includes supporting young people who want to live more authentically after difficult experiences, helping them reconnect with their values and express their true inner self. Michele also works with adult children caring for aging parents, offering space to process caregiver stress and the grief that can arise as a loved one’s mobility or cognition changes. With years of experience in geriatrics, she helps older adults explore the emotional side of aging and navigate this stage of life with greater clarity and self-compassion.

Michele’s style is warm, accepting, and collaborative, with an emphasis on self-discovery and practical growth. In sessions, clients are invited to speak openly, explore what feels stuck in work or relationships, and experiment with new ways of thinking and responding. She draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress management, and empowerment-focused work to support mood management, anxiety reduction, and healthier work-life balance. Michele earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Kansas with a concentration in mental health and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from William Jewell College.
