Lucie Bornmann

Lucie Bornmann is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She has worked in Europe and in California's Central Valley. She keeps therapy patient-paced and goal-oriented, helping people take practical steps when life feels overwhelming.

Her background includes roles in psychiatric public hospitals, foster care, and schools. Those settings shaped how she listens and how she responds to stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and adjustment difficulties. She draws on years of real-world clinical practice rather than theory alone.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She commonly applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Each method is used to match the presenting concern and the client's comfort level.

Her style is steady and nonjudgmental. She focuses on helping people notice what feels off, pause, and try new options. Work in therapy includes learning coping skills, practicing new behaviors, and making small changes that add up.

People who come for help leave with clearer plans and more tools to handle stressors. She supports parents and caregivers coping with life transitions, perinatal concerns, and mood challenges. Sessions aim to be practical, paced to individual needs, and focused on measurable steps forward.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Lucie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing out different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take actions that match those values even when feelings are uncomfortable.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related memories and distress. EMDR involves structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and make them easier to live with over time. These approaches are described clearly and chosen to fit the presenting issue and the person's comfort.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help weigh options and try approaches that fit the client's goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered. Confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow for consistent sessions during life transitions and when coordinating around childcare or work hours.
