About Niki

Niki Knipper is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them sort through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She respects each person's strengths and works with them to find practical ways forward.

Her approach focuses on collaboration and clear, doable steps. She uses Systemic Therapy to look at relationships and patterns that affect daily life. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and act in line with those values.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be down-to-earth and focused on what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can help with emotion regulation and coping in high-stress moments.

Niki has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, cancer-related issues, aging and geriatric matters, and end-of-life topics. She also supports people dealing with relationship and communication problems, codependency, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Practical tools, short-term strategies, and attention to values guide her work.

Sessions can include talking, skill practice, and ways to try new approaches between meetings. Her practice aims to help people build resilience and clearer direction in daily life.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Systemic Therapy looks at how patterns between people affect daily life and personal choices, helping clients notice repeating cycles and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters most and taking practical actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own goals to shape the work together.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then tailor methods to fit those needs. That teamwork helps shape which techniques are used session to session.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing over talking. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
