About Norah Knabe
Norah Knabe is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), a credential for clinicians trained to support individuals, couples, and families with relationship and emotional concerns. She has been in practice since 2011 and provides therapy online as well as in an outpatient setting, offering individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy.
Her work focuses on helping people navigate intense emotions, relationship challenges, stress management, and the day-to-day obstacles that can make life feel heavy or stuck. Norah approaches sessions with care and attention, taking time to hear each client’s story and validate what they are experiencing while also encouraging practical steps toward meaningful change.
In therapy, she helps clients name and better understand their feelings, then build strategies for regulating emotions in healthier ways. She can offer techniques aimed at reducing distress while also exploring the underlying patterns that keep symptoms going, providing support throughout the process. Norah also has a special interest in animal assisted therapy and the use of emotional support animals.
Reaching out for help can be difficult, especially when someone has been carrying a lot on their own. Norah believes support is an option and that therapy can be a place to feel understood, strengthen coping skills, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Norah Knabe draws from approaches that can be practical and engaging in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients feel heard and respected, helping them clarify what they want from therapy and build trust in their own perspective when facing stress, relationship concerns, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, with an emphasis on noticing patterns that intensify anxiety, depression, or stress and practicing new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or conflict in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Norah collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the work over time so therapy feels relevant, practical, and aligned with what matters most to the client.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue progress between sessions, and access therapy from a comfortable, familiar setting.
