About Tina
Tina Knorr is a Pennsylvania LCSW with 20 years of clinical social work experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, career concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related concerns.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods in sessions. Conversations are practical and interactive. Tina combines cognitive behavioral approaches with acceptance and commitment ideas and motivational interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
In early sessions she helps clients set clear goals and picks a few skills to try between meetings. That might include mood monitoring, brief behavioral experiments, or steps toward values-based action. Sessions emphasize small, measurable changes rather than long explanations.
Tina has long experience across many presenting problems, including working with people after physical or emotional trauma. She also supports those coping with career transitions and caregiving strain. Her background includes two decades providing behavioral health services in Pennsylvania.
People who choose her can expect focused, skill-oriented meetings that move from problem identification to practical steps. She invites clients to test what works and to revise the plan as needed. The first session is used to clarify priorities and outline next steps.
How CBT, ACT, and motivational work translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior through short exercises and behavioral experiments. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and many day-to-day habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. That approach often helps with stress, life changes, and compassion fatigue. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to clarify motivation and support steps toward change, and it pairs well with work on addictions or career shifts.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to prioritize. Clients and the therapist decide together which skills to try and how progress will be measured.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let clients practice skills in the settings where problems actually occur, which can make homework feel more relevant.
