About
Niki Knipper is a Florida-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings decades of experience to her work with adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and the many transitions that can reshape daily life. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story, and that existing strengths and values can become practical tools for moving through challenges with greater clarity and steadiness.
Her style is supportive and collaborative, helping clients make sense of what they are experiencing while building skills for coping with change, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and work or career stress. Niki also has a strong focus on concerns that can accompany caregiving, chronic pain or illness, aging-related issues, and end-of-life and hospice-related experiences, including the emotional weight of compassion fatigue. She recognizes that beginning therapy can take real courage, and she aims to make that first step feel welcoming and purposeful as clients work toward goals that matter to them.

Flexible online care grounded in evidence-based approaches
Niki Knipper draws from several well-established therapy approaches that can translate effectively to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding - a helpful option for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult emotions while taking steps toward the life they want to live, guided by personal values. This can be especially useful during life changes, grief, caregiver stress, or when feeling stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can support clients working through intense feelings, relationship strain, or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Niki works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose strategies that match their needs and preferences, adjusting along the way as therapy progresses.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions. This range of options can make it easier to access support around work schedules, parenting demands, health concerns, or other responsibilities.
