About Nye

Nye Knowles is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who works with people seeking clearer communication, stronger self-regard, and recovery from difficult experiences.

Background and approach

He draws on nearly a decade of clinical experience to help clients untangle relationship dynamics, address intimacy concerns, and move through trauma-related symptoms using practical, goal-oriented strategies. His style blends evidence-informed methods with a person-focused stance, encouraging clients to examine patterns such as attachment wounds, codependency, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.

Nye emphasizes building coping skills, reducing shame and guilt, and strengthening emotional insight so individuals can make sustainable changes in relationships and daily life. He accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts sessions in English, offering several online formats to suit different needs.

Holding an LMHC credential in Florida (FL LMHC MH21786), he integrates cognitive and relational techniques to support coaching goals, self-esteem work, and recovery from abuse or other traumatic events. Nye frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people identify practical steps, develop healthier habits, and reclaim a sense of agency in their lives.

Approach-driven online therapy for relationships and healing

Many clients benefit from a mix of structured and relational approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive alternatives; it can be especially useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and practical problem solving. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy issues, codependency, and trust concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own goals, supporting personal growth and a stronger sense of self.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual's circumstances.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy or geographically dispersed lives. These options offer scheduling flexibility and let clients continue consistent work from wherever they are while engaging with a licensed professional who tailors the approach to their concerns and preferences.
