About Lewis
Lewis Busbee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, LGBTQ matters, self-esteem, and depression. Lewis also addresses guilt and shame alongside issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, and communication problems.
His style is straightforward and conversational. He adapts sessions to the person he is speaking with and focuses on practical ways to feel more steady day to day. Sessions often look at patterns that keep someone stuck in guilt, shame, or repeated conflict and then try different ways of responding.
Lewis uses a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. He brings skills from dialectical behavior work and EMDR into care when they match a person's needs. These tools are used to address painful memories, strong emotions, and unhelpful thinking habits.
People who come to Lewis are usually trying to manage strong self-judgment, past hurt, or repeating relational patterns. He works on concrete skills for communication, emotion regulation, and decision making, along with processing experiences that feel stuck. Sessions attend to both present problems and what underlies them.
Lewis practices in Texas and offers services in English. If someone wants to explore sessions, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to discuss goals and next steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for chronic shame, avoidance, and for rebuilding meaning after mistakes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it can help with anxiety, guilt-driven rumination, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and intense emotions so they have less hold in daily life; it can be helpful when shame ties to past events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean trying a few techniques, adjusting pace, and combining methods so sessions focus on what helps most in practice.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR exercises to work over distance while focusing on clear skills, memory processing, and in-session practice.
