What should a new client know about working with you?
Hello! I’m Lucia Walker, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri since 2013. With a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Criminal Justice and Social Work, I bring over a decade of experience to my practice. I have worked in both outpatient mental health centers and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings, which has given me a comprehensive understanding of mental health care.
Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgmental, and deeply empathetic. I genuinely listen to my clients, respecting their thoughts and ideas. I believe in a holistic approach, considering how our social, physical, mental, and spiritual environments impact our mental health. My primary therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My goal is to provide constructive feedback and practical solutions to help clients navigate their challenges and improve their well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
