01About Nicole
Nicole Knox welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or major life changes. She is a licensed professional counselor - LPC - practicing in Pennsylvania and draws on seven years of clinical experience working in mental health.
Nicole speaks English and works with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, parenting strain, mood challenges, and questions about intimacy and identity. Nicole centers the client’s perspective in sessions and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward conversation and practical skills to help people manage symptoms and solve immediate problems. Sessions are focused and collaborative, with clear steps to try between meetings. Her work pulls from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills, change unhelpful thinking, and build emotional regulation.
Nicole also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts affect behavior. Nicole has helped people navigate relationship and family conflicts, grief, recovery from sexual assault and abuse, and challenges linked to attention and mood. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where concrete tools and personal insight come together.
Choosing therapy can feel hard. Nicole offers steady support while helping clients set realistic goals and practice changes that fit daily life. The first session focuses on what the client most wants to address and on planning next steps together.

How Nicole’s Approaches Work Online
Nicole commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.She also draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and understand different parts of themselves. That approach uses gentle curiosity to map how inner parts influence feelings and choices, which can be useful for trauma, self-criticism, and identity concerns. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will ask about goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful to the client.
Online sessions with Nicole are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller discussion and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, live chat fits people who prefer typed conversation, and messaging helps with brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
