Lucia Walker, LCSW

Lucia Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri since 2013. She holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in criminal justice and social work. With 12 years of clinical experience, she has supported people of many ages, including teenagers, who face conditions such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and anxiety disorders. Her professional background includes work in both outpatient mental health centers and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings.

Her therapy style is warm and nonjudgmental, grounded in attentive listening and respect for each person's perspective. Sessions are typically scheduled for 30 minutes to address concerns efficiently and to accommodate busy schedules; when a longer appointment is needed a session may be extended to 45 minutes. During meetings she provides feedback, helps clients develop practical solutions, and offers alternative perspectives to work through difficult situations.

Lucia takes a holistic view of wellbeing, considering how social, physical, mental, and spiritual environments interact to affect mental health. Her primary approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. She works with a wide range of concerns - including depression, anxiety, attention and trauma-related issues - and believes that, with support, many people can make meaningful improvements. Lucia welcomes those who are ready to begin therapy to reach out and start the process.
