Hello! My name is Abraham Knowles and am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience in Florida. I earned my Master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Health from the University of South Florida in 1995. I have since worked as a school social worker and also have worked in a variety of other fields including community mental health, substance abuse, and home health.
I have worked with clients in a variety of modalities including individual, group, and family counseling as well as case management. I draw from a variety of counseling approaches but mostly cognitive behavioral and humanistic/ client centered therapies. I have helped clients with many presenting problems, especially depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Outside of my work as a therapist/ social worker, I enjoy reading, movies, and theater as well as spending time with my wife (married 31 years) son (25), daughter (21), and grandson (4) at their various activities. I have been a volunteer with my church’s youth group for over 20 years.
It takes courage to seek support to work through difficult issues and I’m proud of you for taking that first, very important step. I love listening to and supporting people through difficult circumstances and working with them to develop and implement a plan for improvement. I would love to work with you to provide support and assistance as you work toward symptom reduction, confidence, improved relationships, life purpose, and positive change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Working with Abraham is so relaxing helpful . I fell like talking with a best friend or brother he s a very good listener and pay attention on every single details and words he give good idea and solutions i ve start with him weeks ago but i weight his session weekly
He's very knowledgeable and I feel like he knows my concerns and is actively working to help me.
I have been very impressed with Abraham's help and with his listening and care, as well as his timely response and using several methods in order to support me. I would highly recommend him as a therapist and think that he has been able to help identify some issues that I need to work on and really provide different ways and modalities to work through them. I think you would be very pleased to work with him. Best of luck in your journey.
He is SO PROFESSIONAL! SOMETIMES I think he cares more about me than I do. He's really helped me get into the process. He's wondeful
Lovely, professional and well prepared therapist. Would easily recommend.
He is a great listener and responds to messages in very timely manner. Abraham also do a very good job checking on how everything is going with me.
He listens and he has helped through this rough time.
A very kind, capable and respectful therapist. Could only recommend!
Still getting to know him and BetterHelp as well, but I have the impression that he and the platform does a great job. Abraham is very willing to listen and reads all my texts. He is empathetic and non-judgmental in the way he doesn’t beat me down over my problems I share with him. I feel very safe sharing my thoughts with him knowing that honesty is key.
Abraham has all of the relaxation of speaking to a regular person, while ticking all the right official boxes of addressing your issues and not just chit chatting. It is a very comfortable way to make progress at your own pace without feeling obligated. Also I don't feel judged whiled speaking with him.
He listens well and I feel comfortable talking to him. Great Counselor.
he is patient and really listens to me when he recaps he repeat everything I have said to him. He helps me resolve my issues by giving me things to think about. Very comfortable talking to him in person.
Thank you for be my only support in all this
Great so far. Approachable, effective & quite structured. Recap at the start of each session advantageous for jogging my memory. Thank you thus far Abraham. I look forward to the timely process and ultimately growth and progress.
He is great and he follow up with me and he is understanding.
I really like Abraham
I would recommend Abraham without a second thought. He's supportive, even in bad situations, he's empathetic and has a good sense of what's going on even when not communicating.
Abraham´s kind and understanding personality, mixed with experience and professionalism makes me confident in his ability to help me. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to any one of my friends or family.
I made connection with Abraham from day one. He showed me empathy which extremely important to me during my time of mourning.
