About Lucie
Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body-image concerns, depression, and parenting challenges. She brings a warm, interactive style and a practical focus to sessions. She aims to help clients identify what’s behind difficult patterns and take steps toward change.
With 21 years in the field, Lucie draws on experience from behavioral health and lifestyle coaching roles.
Background and approach
Her background includes work around weight maintenance and the relationship with food, where she helped clients notice how emotions and life events affect eating behavior. That work shaped her interest in treating issues such as anxiety, relationship and communication problems, anger, and loss. In sessions she asks direct questions to uncover core concerns and then builds a realistic plan for action.
She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies and coaching techniques to move from insight to change. She also integrates mindfulness and some dialectical behavior therapy skills when helpful. Lucie holds a Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and the LCSW credential.
She previously coordinated a lifestyle coaching program at a university medical center and later moved into independent practice. Her approach emphasizes compassion, respect, and practical steps clients can use between sessions. People who want focused help with life transitions, family and parenting stresses, eating and body image, or work and purpose often find her style useful.
She works with each person to clarify goals and try small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches offered online and what they do
Lucie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy, giving clients space to describe their experience while the therapist reflects and supports self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and eating-related concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That shared decision-making helps make sessions feel focused and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and access licensed professionals from wherever they are located.
