Lucia Walker, LCSW

Lucia Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with 12 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and people who are rethinking career or life purpose.

She trained with a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in criminal justice and social work. Her background includes work in outpatient mental health centers and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings. Lucia has experience helping people with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder as well as panic, social anxiety, and sleep or eating problems.

Sessions are kept concise by design - typically 30 minutes with the option to extend to 45 minutes when needed. In sessions she listens without judgment, gives direct feedback, and helps people develop practical steps to address specific problems. She often offers new perspectives that make situations easier to manage.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and a solution-focused approach to identify patterns and build small, concrete changes. She also uses client-centered principles and EMDR when appropriate to address trauma and abuse related concerns.

People who come for help leave with clear next steps and strategies they can try between meetings. Lucia combines clinical experience with straightforward, practical planning to help people cope with life changes and clarify what matters next.
