About Lucie
Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body image concerns, and life transitions. She offers calm, practical support and asks clear questions to help people see what’s beneath difficult behaviors. Her aim is to turn insight into a doable plan.
Lucie brings 21 years of experience in clinical social work and coaching. She earned a BA in psychology and a Master’s degree in social work from Rutgers University.
Background and approach
She previously coordinated a lifestyle coaching program at a university diet and fitness center and later moved into independent practice. Her background includes work on eating and weight-related behavior from a behavioral perspective. In sessions she mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused coaching.
She also draws on acceptance and mindfulness approaches and uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when helpful. Lucie sometimes incorporates psychodrama techniques for experiential work. Her style is warm and interactive.
She asks focused questions to help people “peel back the onion,” identify patterns, and build realistic steps to change. The emphasis is on practical strategies people can try between sessions. Lucie works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and communication problems, parenting stress, caregiver strain, career questions, shame and guilt, and seasonal mood changes.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and small steps toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and change habits. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple awareness practices to calm the mind and improve sleep and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lucie collaborates with each person to decide which tools fit their goals and preferences. She uses a mix of client-centered listening, action-focused coaching, and skills training so the plan reflects the person’s needs and what they want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
