Adam Hewitt, LSCSW, LCSW

Adam Hewitt is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from Missouri. He takes a straightforward, strengths-focused approach and tries to keep sessions warm and honest. He aims to help people feel more capable and in charge of their lives.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered ways of working. That means sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors, and also focus on values, present-moment awareness, and practical steps. This mix can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and struggles with addictive behaviors.

Adam has about 10 years of experience that include work in private practice and substance use counseling. He has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, and identity-related concerns, and pays attention to how technology and culture affect daily life. He also addresses issues such as sleep and eating problems, relationship challenges, and career stress.

He aims to build a respectful working relationship where the person leads the pace and goals. Sessions are described plainly and without judgment, and progress focuses on small, usable changes rather than abstract ideas.

Adam offers multiple online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. He accepts international clients and communicates in English, helping people find practical ways to cope and move forward.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Adam commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practicing clearer thinking and behavior changes to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. ACT emphasizes values, present-moment awareness, and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present; it can help with stress, avoidance, and motivation.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions can shift over time if different techniques are more helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills work and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, written exercises, and ongoing coaching between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice skills in real time.
