Abraham Knowles, LCSW

Abraham Knowles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, anger, and other life challenges. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, and issues related to identity and grief.

He trained at the University of South Florida, earning master's degrees in Social Work and in Public Health in 1995. His work history includes roles as a school social worker and positions in community mental health, substance abuse programs, and home health services. That background informs a practical approach to everyday problems.

In sessions he draws mainly from cognitive behavioral approaches and client-centered therapy. He also uses motivational interviewing and trauma-focused methods when they fit the concern. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use outside the room, and addressing patterns that keep problems going.

He has experience offering individual and group work and has done case management in past roles. He routinely helps people manage panic, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, ADHD symptoms, sleep and eating disruptions, and problems with communication and isolation.

Outside clinical work he spends time with his family, volunteers with a church youth group, and enjoys reading, movies, and theater. He describes his role as listening, helping people set goals, and working together on practical steps toward calmer relationships, better mood, and clearer purpose.
