About Lucie

LMFT in California with 17 years of experience, Lucie Bornmann helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, and life changes. She practices in English and French and brings prior work in European settings and California’s Central Valley to her clinical perspective.

Bornmann has worked in psychiatric public hospitals, foster care, and schools. That background informs how she handles crises, hospital transitions, and complex family situations. She has focused clinical time on anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress, depression, and adjustment challenges.

Her stated methods include evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In her practice she uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Those approaches are used to help people change unhelpful thoughts, manage difficult feelings, and process traumatic memories.

Sessions move at a client’s pace and follow individual goals. She emphasizes practical tools people can use between meetings and clearer ways to notice what triggers stress or mood changes. Parents and caregivers will find attention to parenting-related stress and postpartum concerns among her focus areas.

She also supports work on attachment issues, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life purpose. Additional clinical focus includes autism and Asperger syndrome concerns, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, panic, self-harm, and caregiving stress.

Lucie asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching questionnaire to schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Lucie uses several evidence-based techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, OCD, and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take committed steps despite difficult feelings; it suits adjustment issues and chronic stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice may shift over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing meetings during a break from work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that helps someone stay focused. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical tools still get practiced between meetings.
