About Lucie
Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief, eating concerns, depression, and life changes. She takes a warm, interactive approach and works with individuals who want practical steps as well as emotional insight. Her style blends talking through problems with actionable planning.
With 21 years in the field, Knapp draws on a background that includes behavioral programs at a medical center and independent practice experience.
How Lucie works
She emphasizes understanding the underlying reasons for patterns like overeating, and then building a plan to change them. Sessions often start by identifying core issues and then mapping small, achievable steps forward. Her approach mixes client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies.
She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and develop routine coping habits. When useful, she brings in psychodrama methods to practice new behaviors in the moment. Knapp frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She listens for what matters most, asks targeted questions, and helps clients set realistic goals. The work balances emotional exploration with clear action items to make progress between sessions. People seeking help for relationship strain, body image and eating issues, parenting stress, career questions, or feelings of isolation will find focused attention on both insight and change.
She aims to support, motivate, and empower each person toward a more manageable life.

Online support options
Online approaches that combine acceptance and action
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to lower reactivity and improve concentration, which supports emotion regulation and stress management.Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods, notice what fits, and adjust the plan so the work feels useful and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
