About Niki
Niki Knipper is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them tackle worry, low mood, stress, and life transitions with steady support. Niki emphasizes practical steps and gentle listening so people can start feeling more like themselves again.
Her work centers on clear, usable tools rather than long theory talks. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centered listening so each person is heard.
How Niki works
Sessions aim to build small habits that make daily life easier. Niki has long helped people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, grief, and the stresses that come with aging. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, work pressures, and changes after separation or loss.
Her experience includes counseling around cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and chronic pain management. People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process. She works at a pace that fits each person's needs and focuses on skills that can be used between sessions.
The goal is to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, manage anger, and strengthen self-esteem through steady practice. Her Florida LCSW credential reflects long clinical experience. Niki offers sessions in English and uses a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy for everyday problems
Niki commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that worsen anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps clarify personal values and teaches practical ways to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit. The choices are collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and reflections between meetings. These options help people fit care around work, caregiving, or medical obligations.
