About Lucie
Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings over 21 years of experience helping people untangle stress, anxiety, grief, and problems with food and body image. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she focuses on clear steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control.
She combines client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work. Sessions often include questions that help people identify the root issues - the things "eating" them - and then build a realistic plan to change behaviors and patterns. Lucie also draws on mindfulness and some dialectical behavior therapy skills when they fit the situation.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work from Rutgers University, and long clinical experience in behavioral work around weight, eating, and lifestyle. She spent many years coordinating a lifestyle coaching program at a university medical center before moving into private practice.
People come to her for help with relationship strain, family of origin concerns, codependency, parenting stress, midlife questions, career decisions, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. She places emphasis on practical plans as well as insight, blending coaching-style goal setting with therapeutic work.
Clients describe sessions as compassionate and focused on real-world change. Lucie encourages steady progress through clear steps, tailored strategies, and attention to what a person most needs next.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, supporting stress reduction and emotional regulation.Finding the best fit is part of the work. The therapist uses a collaborative approach and will help clients try methods and decide what feels most useful. Goals, preferences, and daily life shape which tools and combinations are emphasized.
The biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It also supports continuity of care for people who live far from a clinician. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so clients still learn skills and build plans that carry into everyday life.
