More about me

Licensing: MSW, LCSW Years in Practice: 21 State: North Carolina

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Life Purpose and Career Coach based in North Carolina. I have a BA in Psychology with a minor in Women's Studies from Rutgers University in NJ as well as a Master's Degree in Social Work from the Graduate School of Social Work , Rutgers University.. I have training in Psychodrama from the Montclair Institute of Psychodrama in NJ. I have been in the field for over 18 years most recently working as a Behavioral Therapist and Program Coordinator of the Lifestyle Coaching Program at the Duke University and Medical Center Diet and Fitness Center in Durham NC.. I left there after 9 years to go into private practice.

I have worked for many years in the area of weight loss and weight maintenance from the behavioral perspective - one's relationship with food. Within this focus I have had the opportunity of working with clients on the issues that often lead one to overeat.. " its not what you are eating - its what is eating you". Usually the issues have to do with other challenges in their lives and the way that they are dealing with them. .Some examples of this are anxiety, depression,marital issues, communication issues within interpersonal relationships, anger, grief, stress as well as other life challenges. I help my clients acknowledge and identify their challenges and concerns by asking key questions - "peeling back the onion"- then developing a plan of action to put into effect to challenge and overcome these concerns .

I combine a client centered focus with solution based focus, cognitive behavioral therapy as well as approaches using a coaching model. I also will incorporate psychodrama techniques when I feel it would be helpful

My style is warm and interactive. I am skilled in CBT ( cognitive behavioral therapy), Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, as well as incorporating some DBT skills as needed. As a life coach I am aware how important it is to not only gain insight into the issues but also develop a realistic plan to over come the challenges. When it may seem helpful I will also use some techniques used in Psychodrama to assist in the therapy . I truly love what I do and honor , respect and show deep compassion for all my clients. I believe that their trust in me is essential for our work together to be successful. I do not take that trust lightly.

It takes great courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support, motivate and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've been getting counselling from Lucie for almost a year now and it's helped me get through a lot of tough times in 2020. I feel lucky to be connected to her!

Lucie is not only attentive, but she genuinely listens. She lets me speak or cry or do whatever I need to and then will give me honest feedback. Lucie will offer suggestions, but, she'll also provide additional resources and tools that I can use. She is consistent and responsive in the most timely manner, but she doesn't just respond quickly. She also follows-up if she hasn't heard from me in a while which I so appreciate! Overall, I am very pleased and would highly recommend Lucie as a counselor.

Lucie is the best therapist I've ever had, and I feel thankful to have found her. Consistent, caring, and thoughtful, Lucie has so many great qualities in a therapist, and I couldn't recommend her more.

Lucy has been an excellent help to me over this past month since I began BetterHelp.

She is also timely with her responses, and easy to communicate with. She is also very knowledgeable and the resources she has sent me have been helpful. I would definitely recommend Lucy.

Lucie has been amazing!

Lucie is great. Completely understands what I'm going through. We clicked easily and I opened up to her right away.

Lucie is very understanding and encouraging.

Working with Lucie has really helped me unpack some of the triggers of my anxiety. She is a good, objective listener and remains objective even during talks about very sensitive issues. I’ve never felt judged when expressing my feelings and thoughts.

Lucie has been very helpful and understanding, and has also provided a lot of supplementary documents and worksheets which I think have definitely helped a lot. She has at all times made me feel that I am dealing with someone who is compassionate as well as being knowledgeable and professional and I am enjoying our interactions a lot, and finding them a great help!

I had grief counselling with Lucie recently which I found enormously helpful. Lucie is a very kind and empathetic counsellor who I felt extremely comfortable working with. The fact that she has been through what I'm currently experiencing also helped. I would highly recommend Lucie to anyone in need of counselling and I would definitely work with her again.

Lucie has been fantastic, supportive and understanding. She works to quickly identify the root cause of a problem and then offers some suggestions on approaching that issue in a way that fits my personality.

Lucie has been great at responding when I need to talk to someone the most. I suffer from anxiety attacks and when they happen I really need someone to talk to and I also need to be able to talk about them afterwards as well.

Lucie is very caring and very experienced in helping me identify key factors causing my distress in life. I feel like I have someone who can help me get out of a frustration rut and make some progress with improving my mental state.

Lucie has been a great counselor! She listens to my concerns and knows how to make me really think about what I'm feeling and thinking. She encourages me to think outside of the box and challenge my negative emotions, which has been a huge help.

Lucie has been fantastic. She is quick to respond in thoughtful ways and our conversations are always productive, engaging me in my life with new perspective and motivation.

I look forward to my sessions with Lucie every time- she is so warm and personable, and with a brilliant sense of humour. She has been so easy to connect with, and exudes understanding throughout each one.

Lucie is very warm and insightful. She has helped me improve my sleep and exercise and develop a plan to remain on track. She also provided support with my relationship and with managing my husband’s depression. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

I love Lucie!! I have been using BetterHelp for almost a year. Lucie is very kind and understanding! She gives me additional information that I can be working on at home and really helps me reflect on the whole picture. I am bi-polar and have seen 10+ psychologists and never found the connection that I have with Lucie.

I am fortunate to have found Lucie Knapp through BetterHelp. Having moved from out of state and with Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays upon me I had several issues surface in my relationship with family members. The communication skills that Lucie is teaching me through Power Point presentations, Work Sheets and a weekly half hour conversation with Lucie has given me the confidence to interact with family members and friends more effectively. Lucie listens and perceives quickly what the issue is and immediately sends informative worksheets which help me realize what behavior and beliefs I need to reflect on and possibly improve. I look forward to each session with Lucie.

I really like Lucie Knapp. She’s amazing. She helps me “iron” out all the wrinkles I have in my life and think about how it affects both parties. I really like her. She’s easy to talk to.

Lucie is awesome, she has listened to me and has put my mind at rest over many things. She is my saviour.

Lucie is awesome! She listens and understands how I’m feeling and what I’m going through. It’s really nice to have someone like her to talk to.

Lucie knows her stuff and is a good listener. I enjoyed working with her and she was a great help to me.

Lucie is a very professional individual who understands and is very patient. She also gives the proper support. She is a great person to seek counseling from.

Lucie was an extremely supportive counselor. She listened to my concerns and gave me very practical advice to help combat my anxiety. She was available but not pushy, and friendly.

Lucie is great!

I love Lucie! Seriously, Lucie gives practical, calm advice and is a kind voice of reassurance when life is just a bit overwhelming. She is great at sorting through the rubbish and getting to the heart of the issue and offering practical advice and ideas.

Lucie is kind, intelligent and incredibly gifted at this work. I've worked with therapists before and rarely have I ever felt so listened-to, cared for and respected. Lucie has taken time out of her time off for me, she has scheduled odd hours for me (I live over seas), and has been extremely consistent with her replies to my emails. I couldn't ask for a better experience, and she is the reason I stay on this website. Lucie is extremely experienced and professional, so always has tools or ideas that are helpful to me. She has really helped me transition out of a dark place to a healthier state. Thanks so much for everything, Lucie!

I really like Lucie's method of therapy as it is almost like coaching. She listens to the issues and offers practical and methodical advice on how to deal with the situation. I am very happy with her.

Thank you for all your help and helping me to get out what I was feeling and of course with no judgements. I am truly grateful for Lucie.

Lucie helped me tremendously to deal with a pattern of very negative thinking and anxiety. It has made a huge difference in how I perceive the world. I would definitely recommend her.

Lucie is a professional and kind person to talk to. She helped me out a lot to deal with my stress eating habit and she is always there when I need support. I appreciate her work and definitely recommend her :)

I could only be with Lucie for a short while but gained a lot from our time working together. Lucie really knows how to connect and how to establish which goals are important. I really like her personality too and that she was warm and seemed confident as well as knowledgable. It was really helpful having someone to talk to, as well as working through some exercises that helped me pay attention to one thing rather then going off in all directions.

Lucie is always checking on me ... I am really thankful!

Lucie is persistent, which is required when working through an app like this. She listens and points in a relevant direction. It's been a nice experience so far.
