About Lucie

Lucie Bornmann is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She has practiced in Europe and California's Central Valley and brings a steady, practical approach to people seeking help with overwhelming feelings. She focuses on clear goals and moves at each person's pace. Her work often centers on anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, post-traumatic stress, depression, and adjustment to life changes. She also addresses related issues such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and mood disorders. Sessions aim to identify what’s getting in the way and build tools to manage symptoms day to day. Lucie draws on evidence-based techniques to guide therapy. She blends methods to match each person's needs rather than relying on one fixed style. The emphasis is on learning manageable skills and trying small changes between sessions. She has worked in psychiatric public hospitals, foster care, and schools, and brings that experience into her clinical thinking. Her practice values respect for cultural differences and the realities families face in everyday life. Lucie describes therapy as a step-by-step process. She listens for strengths, helps set realistic goals, and supports people as they test new ways of responding. The focus is on practical progress and building sustainable strategies that fit into a busy life.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Lucie uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help when life feels stuck.

She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related symptoms, using structured processing to lessen the intensity of painful memories. Each approach is explained in simple terms during sessions so clients know what to expect and why a technique might help.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss options, and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. If something doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made together until the best fit is found.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing practical needs up front helps shape a plan that works with daily life.
