About Lucia
Lucia Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma, grief, sleep and eating issues, and related concerns.
She uses practical, problem-focused sessions that are usually 30 minutes long and can be extended to 45 minutes when needed. Sessions focus on clear steps and feedback. Lucia aims to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to real-life problems.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered listening and EMDR where appropriate. She offers straightforward tools to change patterns of thinking and behavior and short-term plans to address pressing concerns. The work often moves from identifying a specific problem to trying concrete strategies between sessions.
Lucia has worked in both outpatient mental health centers and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings. Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in criminal justice and social work. That mix informs a practical style focused on everyday coping and problem solving.
She invites clients who want structured, time-efficient sessions and clear next steps. People who prefer brief, focused work and regular feedback may find this approach useful. For details about session formats and how to begin, follow the online therapy options and the matching process.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Lucia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and attention concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on real goals and small, doable steps to get there, which is useful when time is limited and practical progress is the priority.She also uses client-centered listening to understand each person's perspective and may incorporate EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate. Finding the best approach is collaborative: the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as the work progresses.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving. Shorter sessions can allow regular check-ins without taking a large block of time, while longer sessions can be scheduled when deeper work is needed. Ask about available session lengths and scheduling so the plan fits daily life.
