About Abraham
Abraham Knowles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 25 years of experience. He has worked across schools, community mental health, substance abuse services, and home health. He commonly helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, parenting stress, and relationship concerns.
He uses practical, straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. Sessions often focus on coping skills, behavior changes, and clearer communication. Abraham draws mainly from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches, adding motivational interviewing and trauma-focused methods where helpful.
His background includes a Master of Social Work and a Master of Public Health from the University of South Florida, and long-term roles as a school social worker and community clinician. That range informs a focus on real-life problems such as sleep trouble, anger, workplace stress, and parenting strain.
In session he combines listening with concrete steps. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to panic, mapping triggers for mood shifts, or setting small goals for daily routines. He has experience with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues, and post-traumatic stress.
Outside of clinical work he spends time with family, reads, and volunteers with a church youth group. He emphasizes collaboration - working with each person to build a realistic plan for managing symptoms, improving confidence, and restoring relationships.
BHow sessions work
How Abraham applies approaches in online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist asks about current problems, reflects what he hears, and prioritizes the issues the client brings up. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions using CBT look at patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or panic attacks and introduce practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. That work is useful for sleep problems, panic, mood difficulties, and many stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Abraham will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s needs and preferences.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online options can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video when needed, and the chance to join from different locations depending on the client’s schedule.
