Lucie Knapp

Lucie Knapp is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is behind a concern. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through what’s happening now.

Lucie blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness work when it helps. Her approach often includes coaching-style planning so clients leave a session with clear, doable next steps.

Her background includes long experience in behavioral approaches to eating and weight challenges, looking at the relationship with food rather than only the food itself. Over two decades in the field taught her to spot how anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or stress can drive behaviors such as overeating or withdrawal. She uses questions and focused exercises to help people identify root triggers and workable alternatives.

In sessions she keeps the tone warm and interactive and can introduce role-based techniques when useful. The goal is to build insight and then translate that insight into everyday changes people can try. Lucie emphasizes collaboration, respect, and steady support as someone makes changes.

She has worked in clinical and program settings and then moved into private practice. If someone is ready to make a change, she focuses on helping them set realistic goals and follow through with concrete steps.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and clarify what matters most to them. It uses simple exercises to guide choices that match a person’s values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and eating-related struggles. Mindfulness Therapy teaches focused attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to anger or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and personally relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use skills learned in sessions right away in the contexts where they live and work, making homework and practice more natural.
