About Lucie

Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body-image concerns, depression, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings 21 years of experience to sessions and blends psychotherapy with practical coaching to support clients working through relationship challenges, family-of-origin issues, parenting concerns, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Lucie also addresses intimacy-related struggles, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and identity and LGBT-related concerns.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and client-centered care. She emphasizes understanding the patterns that maintain difficulties - for example, how emotional triggers influence eating behaviors - and then building step-by-step plans to shift those patterns.

Sessions are described as warm and interactive, combining insight with actionable strategies and occasional experiential techniques when helpful. Lucie accepts international clients and works with a range of life challenges, meeting people where they are and supporting their efforts toward clearer goals and sustainable change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Lucie uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and problematic eating. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is employed to support values-based action and to increase psychological flexibility when life circumstances feel overwhelming. Client-centered therapy forms the relational foundation for her work, emphasizing empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring change.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting tools and techniques as insight and progress develop. The work aims to balance understanding with concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow for ongoing coaching-style support alongside traditional therapy when that suits a client’s plan.
