About Lucie
Lucie Bornmann is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of experience. She has practiced in Europe and in California's Central Valley. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.
She has spent time in psychiatric public hospitals, foster care, and schools. That background shaped how she helps people manage strong emotions and navigate difficult transitions. She also brings experience with obsessive thoughts and behaviors, panic, postpartum mood changes, and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and make small changes that matter.
Her work includes attention to attachment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose. She has also supported people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and family-related conflicts. She can talk with people about autism and Asperger Syndrome in the context of other concerns.
Lucie offers therapy in English and French. She practices in California as an LMFT and applies methods aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. To begin, the usual next step is a short questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Lucie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps despite difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats the choice of method as a collaborative process and will discuss what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as current options are listed at the time of sign-up. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not possible. It also lets people work with a therapist who speaks English or French without needing to commute. If convenience or scheduling is important, confirm the available formats before you schedule.
