   About Luqretia

   Luqretia Stuckey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She talks with clients about parenting challenges, career strain, self-esteem, and issues tied to trauma and abuse. She also addresses areas like ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy and sexual difficulties, and grief related to hospice and end-of-life care.

   Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens for what matters most and works with each person to find small, doable steps forward. Sessions focus on building insight, boosting motivation, and improving everyday coping skills.

   Luqretia draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and move toward their goals. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to strengthen relationships and support emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy inform efforts to shift unhelpful thoughts and rewrite personal stories when needed.

   She has worked with people across the lifespan since 2003 and brings a holistic view to care. That means she looks at both personal issues and the systems around them, such as family, work, and community. Her work has included supporting people facing substance use, high-risk psychiatric concerns, personality-related struggles, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

   Luqretia aims to help people reconnect with their sense of self and move toward honest, sustainable change. She encourages practical steps, clear goals, and open conversations about what’s working and what needs to change.

2. How her methods translate to online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. In short sessions she asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and supports small steps toward goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape reactions and safety; it’s useful when trust, closeness, or family dynamics are part of the concern. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and pacing, allowing conversations to follow what matters most to the client.
   
   Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and checking in about what feels helpful as therapy progresses.
   
   If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Some people find phone or video sessions reduce the time cost and help them attend more consistently. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work while focusing on practical steps, motivation, and relationship patterns rather than promising specific outcomes.
