Lucie Knapp , LCSW

Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and concerns about eating and body image. She works with people navigating depression, life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and career questions. Lucie brings a warm, interactive presence and a practical focus to sessions.

With 21 years in the field, Lucie combines talking through problems with clear action steps. She asks focused questions to help people identify underlying patterns - what she sometimes calls "peeling back the onion" - and then builds a realistic plan to move forward. Her style blends client-centered listening with solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques.

Lucie has a Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and holds LCSW credentials in North Carolina and New Jersey. Her background includes work in behavioral programs and lifestyle coaching related to eating and weight maintenance, where she learned to address the emotional side of food and eating habits.

In sessions she may introduce mindfulness tools and some Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to strengthen emotional regulation. She also draws on coaching methods to set achievable goals and encourage follow-through. When helpful, Lucie can bring in role-based techniques to practice communication and new behaviors.

People who are looking for supportive, practical therapy that balances understanding with action may find her approach useful. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to small actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and challenges with eating habits.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel heard and understood while they explore goals. That foundation supports work on relationships, self-esteem, and coping with loss or transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend techniques to try. Adjustments are made together as the work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and role practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for ongoing support and tracking progress between sessions.
