Tina Knorr, LCSW

Tina Knorr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and life changes. She focuses on clear conversations and actionable steps so clients can move forward from feeling stuck.

With about 20 years in behavioral health, Tina has worked with a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and sleep. She also supports people facing career pressure, coping with change, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental. Sessions involve straightforward talk, collaborative goal-setting, and strategies you can use between meetings. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with sensitivity and respect.

Tina draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to shape practical plans. She adapts her approach to each person’s goals and life situation rather than following one fixed method.

People who start work with her can expect a focus on problem solving, building coping skills, and finding small, realistic changes that make daily life easier. Tina encourages clients to take gradual steps toward a more balanced, fulfilling routine.

She aims to support and empower clients as they make changes, and she welcomes questions about process and pace during the early sessions.

How CBT and ACT Shape Online Therapy

CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with clear, practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day coping because it breaks issues into small steps and teaches skills to change behavior.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports making values-based choices and building habits that move someone toward a life they care about, even when stress or mood swings are present.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tina works collaboratively to figure out which methods match each person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what’s working and what isn’t, and checks in often about pace and priorities.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for longer talk sessions and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, focused support between meetings and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other routines.
