Greetings! My name is Lucian, and I am a passionate, caring, and effective licensed therapist in Delaware. I am eager to help you reach your full potential. I bring a broad array of life experience and expertise, into the therapeutic relationship. Through empathy and understanding, you will gain a unique perspective into your world. I have 7 years of professional experience and worked in a variety of settings with different populations. As a therapist, I am here to intervene. I am not here simply to listen, or allow you to have a cathartic experience. I implement the Strength Base Approach, Cognitive Behavioral approach, and Mindfulness approach. These approaches are goal-oriented, directive, and problem-solving in nature. It takes a skillful therapist to help clients make the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I strive for the opportunity to build and maintain a solid therapeutic alliance with my clients. I approach therapy as a healing process, helping to answer deep-rooted unanswered questions we have about ourselves. You are the expert of your narrative, and I am your creative outlet ready to listen and help you find solutions because we find strength in sharing our experiences. I value honesty, the importance of a working relationship, and your integrity, dignity, and worth. So, let’s do this!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Lucian is an amazing therapist! I’ve only had her for a very short time but her investment in me keeps me in-line to invest in myself. She seeks out opportunities for me to reflect on and provides activities outside of our sessions to help me process things on a deeper level. She provides self work assignments which helps me not to be idle. She always follows up and checks in on me to make sure I am well and she is always available to my questions. I would definitely recommend her services!
Lucian is amazing! I feel like I could talk to her all day. If we had the time, I’m sure we could get a lot accomplished. She’s very kind and compassionate and easy to open up to. I feel like the perfect person was chosen for me and I’m very grateful. I’m so excited for the results that I know I will have with her guidance.
She's great. I will continue with her. She's an asset to you and people she helps.
