My name is Lucia Walker, and I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed in Missouri since 2013. I have a bachelors in psychology and a masters in criminal justice and social work. I have over 10 years of experience working with people of many ages, including teenagers that may suffer from different mental health conditions, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, Anxiety disorders, and others. I have worked in both outpatient mental health centers and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings.
My therapy style is warm and non judgement, I genuinely listening to my clients and respect their thoughts and ideas. I like to keep sessions to 30 minutes as much as possible, so we can work efficiently on problems and solutions, and also respect client's time, since I know it is sometimes difficult to find the time in the day for therapy sessions. It can be extended to 45 minutes when a longer session is needed. During sessions, I provide feedback to clients, and help clients come up with practical solutions to problems, or present another perspective that help clients work through difficult situations. I take a holistic perspective, taking into consideration how our social, physical, mental, and spiritual environments all effect our mental health. The main approaches that I use in therapy include cognitive behavioral approach and solution focused approach.
If you suffer from depression or anxiety, attention issues, trauma issues or other concerns, I am here to help. I believe that you can improve your mental health, and overcome many concerns you have with a little help from others. I would love to be that person to help you, and if you would like to begin therapy sessions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

A good listener and very responsive.
Even though Lucia and I come from different countries and cultures, her advice and insights have been extremely helpful and life-changing. She helped me uncover the roots of my anxiety and helped me overcome it much more quickly than I ever expected. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone coming here looking for help to deal with anxiety and insecurity.
Been having sessions with Lucia for 2 months now and the change I have seen in myself have been incredible! Extremely easy to get along with and full of helpful comments. Can't thank her enough for helping me on the journey I'm on!
Lucia has been wonderful! She is empathetic, listens patiently to me, makes me feel heard and gives me gentle but useful advice. I always look forward to my sessions with her!
Speaking with Lucia has made me feel so much better! I have definitely felt a lot of growth with my experience with anxiety. Lucia creates a fun and relaxed space where you can truly feel open to talk about anything with her, and I hope to continue to take on what I've learnt from these sessions into my life for a long time.
