Niki Knipper

Niki Knipper, LCSW, is a Florida-licensed clinician with three decades of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver strain, and life transitions. She works with a broad range of concerns that include relationship and family issues, parenting and career challenges, sleep difficulties, and responses to chronic illness or loss. Her practice also addresses areas such as compassion fatigue, codependency, and the emotional impacts of aging and serious medical conditions.

She approaches each person from a strengths-based stance and holds the view that individuals are the experts of their own stories. She acknowledges that beginning therapy can require courage and frames the first step as meaningful. That perspective guides a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which the person’s values and goals shape the work.

Clinical tools in her repertoire include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are applied to help identify patterns, build skills, and support movement toward personally important directions, while addressing practical concerns such as communication, anger, isolation, and end-of-life matters.
