About Abraham

Abraham Knowles brings a client-centered, experience-driven approach to therapy, blending humanistic values with evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Background and approach

He is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of practice, and he draws especially on cognitive behavioral methods and trauma-focused work to address patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Abraham emphasizes collaborative, practical strategies that support symptom reduction and greater confidence.

Over his career he has practiced in school settings, community mental health, substance abuse programs, and home health, and he has provided individual, group, and family counseling as well as case management. This breadth of experience informs a flexible style that meets people where they are and helps them develop realistic plans for change.

His focus areas include mood and anxiety conditions, addictions, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD among other concerns. Outside of clinical work he enjoys reading, theater, and spending time with his wife, children, and grandson, and he has volunteered with a youth group for more than two decades.

Abraham aims to be a steady, respectful listener who partners with clients to clarify life purpose, strengthen communication, and foster lasting improvements.

Approach-driven online care that fits your life

Abraham integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work in a way that is practical and respectful. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while exploring values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders and to improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abraham approaches that decision collaboratively. He will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods and techniques to try together, adjusting the plan over time based on what is working and what is not.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from Florida or abroad, support ongoing skill practice between meetings, and reduce logistical barriers to accessing therapy.
