Aneshia Lewis

LCSW, 5 years of experience
VirtualAvailable

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to adults across New Jersey. I strive to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Clients often describe me as calm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and build practical tools that support lasting growth. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you make meaningful progress at your own pace.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what you'd like support with, and your goals. There's no pressure to share everything at once. I want you to feel comfortable and heard as we begin working together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a warm, down to earth, and nonjudgmental approach to every session. My own life experiences have taught me that growth isn't always straightforward, which helps me meet clients with empathy and understanding. I tailor my style to each person sometimes that means giving you the space to process at your own pace, and other times it means gently challenging unhelpful patterns or perspectives. My goal is to provide a balance of support, honesty, and practical tools that help you create meaningful change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to make a meaningful change. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, or a major life transition, I'll meet you where you are without judgment. If you're looking for a therapist who will listen, support you, and gently challenge you when needed, we'll likely be a good fit. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel more confident, resilient, and equipped to navigate life's challenges.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use ACT to help clients make room for difficult thoughts and emotions instead of feeling controlled by them. Together, we'll identify what's most important to you, learn practical ways to handle life's challenges, and focus on taking small, meaningful steps toward the life you want to live. My goal is to help you feel more present, flexible, and confident, even when life feels difficult.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help you better understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, challenge negative thinking, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal isn't to tell you what to think it's to help you build the skills and confidence to navigate challenges long after therapy ends.

Eclectic

I believe therapy isn't one size fits all. Every person brings a different story, so I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and strengths. As we work together, I'll use different techniques and strategies based on what feels most helpful for you, creating an approach that fits you rather than expecting you to fit a certain approach.

Trauma Informed Care

I understand that our past experiences can affect how we see ourselves, relate to others, and handle life's challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and in control of your own journey. We won't rush the process, and you'll never be expected to share more than you're ready to. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
