About Adam
Adam Hewitt is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with ten years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem concerns, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, career struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Adam favors approaches that center on feelings and relationships, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) where helpful. In practice he leans on strengths people already have and uses mindfulness-based ideas to manage strong emotions and unhelpful patterns.
He has significant experience supporting people affected by trauma, substance and gaming addiction, and by systemic oppression. Much of his work helps clients notice how technology and culture shape their stress and behavior, and then make small, practical changes. He emphasizes straightforward communication and mutual respect in sessions.
Adam aims to let clients set the pace. He invites people to take the lead on goals that matter to them, while offering tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. He often focuses on attachment and emotional patterns when relationship or intimacy issues are present.
His background includes years in private practice and substance abuse counseling before his current role. He uses his clinical experience to combine emotional work with skills-based approaches, helping clients move from feeling stuck to making measurable changes in their lives.
How Adam blends EFT, ACT and client-centered work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional and attachment patterns. It can help when difficult feelings repeat in relationships or when emotions are hard to name. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to take action toward valued goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person honestly, supporting self-directed change.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods make sense based on needs, goals, and preference. That may mean emphasizing emotional work, practicing ACT-based skills, or using CBT and DBT techniques alongside client-centered listening.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking to know how meetings are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoiding being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals adapt pacing, homework, and skills practice so therapy can be practical and manageable while you balance other commitments.
