About Lorinda
Florida LMHC with 15 years of experience, Lorinda (Lori) Kniess helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and LGBT concerns. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin concerns. Sessions are described in plain terms as conversations that help people sort thoughts and make manageable changes.
Lori begins by listening and learning what matters most to each person. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide those conversations. Treatment plans come from what the client wants to work on and what fits their life.
In practice she keeps sessions straightforward. People can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and simple tools to try between meetings. The focus is on skills you can use day to day, not on technical jargon.
Lori’s background includes 15 years of counseling experience in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, or LMHC. That experience covers a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns and includes work with adults, children, and families as noted in her original biography.
Her approach aims to help people manage symptoms and regain routine functioning. Conversations explore coping strategies, values-based choices, and small behavioral steps. The intent is to make progress in clear, manageable ways over time.

How Lori’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change mood and functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s perspective and relies on reflective listening and collaborative goal setting to shape the work.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Lori will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday, take a shorter check-in during a break, or avoid travel time. Discussing which techniques to use in remote sessions happens during the first meetings so practical details and the clinical approach align with everyday schedules.
