About Norah

Norah Knabe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing since 2011 in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, or big life changes. Norah listens carefully and helps people take small, practical steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.

She uses a mix of approaches that fit the person in front of her, including Systemic therapy, client-centered work, CBT, DBT, and emotionally-focused techniques.

Background and approach

Sessions often include learning skills to manage strong emotions and strategies to reduce symptoms now while also looking at deeper patterns that keep problems coming back. Norah emphasizes a warm, validating style. She names feelings, reflects what she hears, and offers clear tools for regulating emotion.

People also work on communication and decision-making that affect relationships and daily functioning. Her background includes 15 years of clinical practice as an LMFT. She has experience addressing a wide range of concerns such as eating and body image issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress.

Norah also brings experience with animal-assisted approaches and the role of emotional support animals when relevant. Therapy can be done through several online formats or by phone, and sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability.

How Norah’s Approaches Work Online

Norah blends Systemic therapy with client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and helps identify how interactions keep problems going, which can be useful for communication and relationship concerns. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood while they decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This lets clients test tools in their daily life and bring observations back to sessions for refinement.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video supports face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be useful when video is not possible or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief exchanges, progress notes, and tools between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while working with a licensed professional.
