About Lucia

Lucia Walker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Missouri who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, addictive behaviors, sleep and eating concerns, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She brings 12 years of professional experience across outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings and draws on a broad clinical background that includes work with teens and adults facing mood disorders and attention concerns. Her approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and practical.

Lucia favors focused, efficient sessions - typically 30 minutes with the option to extend to 45 minutes when needed - and combines feedback, problem-solving, and perspective shifts to help clients move forward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered listening and, when appropriate, EMDR to address trauma-related symptoms.

Lucia emphasizes a holistic view of wellbeing, considering social, physical, mental, and spiritual factors that affect a person’s health. She accepts international clients and offers a range of remote session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Prospective clients who are ready to explore goals and practical strategies can begin by selecting the Start Therapy option and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Approaches and Online Care that Fit Your Life

Lucia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered listening to tailor work to each person’s needs. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and panic, while Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and building attainable steps toward practical change. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive space where the client’s perspective and priorities guide the pace and focus of work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucia will work with clients to evaluate which methods align with their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting techniques over time to best support progress and comfort in sessions.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes, and they allow clients to choose formats that suit their daily routines and accessibility needs.
