About Norah

Norah Knabe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She works with people facing emotional difficulties, relationship struggles, stress, and life transitions, offering practical skills as well as empathetic listening.

Background and approach

As an LMFT she blends evidence-based methods and client-centered care to help clients identify emotions, learn regulation strategies, and take steps toward meaningful change. Her practice emphasizes both symptom relief and deeper work to address underlying patterns.

Norah uses techniques to reduce distress in the moment while also exploring the roots of recurring problems, and she incorporates approaches such as mindfulness and skills-based therapies when appropriate. She is experienced with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, eating and body-image issues, trauma, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.

Norah aims to validate each person’s story and to empower clients to make realistic, sustainable changes. She offers therapy through multiple remote formats and outpatient settings, and her style is supportive, practical, and collaborative to help people move forward from the obstacles that brought them to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Norah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and goals; this approach helps when someone needs validation and collaborative problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, adapting techniques as understanding grows over time. The aim is to combine supportive listening with targeted strategies so clients feel both heard and equipped.

Online therapy offers convenience and flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow for continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments, and they make it easier to access consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals regardless of location within Minnesota. The variety of session types helps people choose what feels most manageable and effective for their daily life.
