Lucie Knapp

Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, body image and career concerns. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people notice what’s getting in the way, then make a usable plan to move forward. Her tone is warm and interactive, and she encourages people to take small, actionable steps toward change.

Lucie draws on more than two decades of experience working with eating and food-related issues from a behavioral perspective. She looks beyond symptoms to the life circumstances and emotions that often drive behavior. In sessions she asks focused questions to help clients identify patterns, then co-creates realistic strategies to address them.

Her work combines client-centered conversation with cognitive behavior techniques and acceptance-based approaches. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness in skills-building work. When helpful, Lucie can bring in psychodrama techniques to try out new ways of relating or rehearsing difficult conversations.

Clients can expect sessions that balance insight with concrete steps. Lucie emphasizes practical plans that fit daily life, whether the goal is coping with grief, managing anxiety, improving sleep, or tackling career concerns. She partners with people to set achievable goals and follow through on them.

With experience across clinical and coaching-style work, Lucie aims to support people through transitions and midlife shifts. Her approach centers on respect, curiosity, and steady encouragement as clients work toward clearer purpose and healthier habits.

How Lucie Uses Practical Approaches Online

Lucie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take meaningful action. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behavior patterns that change mood and functioning. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, and life transitions.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Lucie works with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. She combines techniques as needed, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what’s working.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and let people use different tools such as mindfulness exercises in their own daily settings. Licensed professionals can support skill practice, problem-solving, and planning in a way that aims to fit your life and goals.
