About Nye

Nye Knowles is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are stuck in people-pleasing patterns, trouble saying no, or who feel overwhelmed by relationship dynamics. He lists relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coaching among his main focuses.

He helps people untangle patterns rooted in attachment, abandonment, and control. In sessions he talks through how guilt, shame, and past hurts shape choices now. He also works with issues like dissociation, emptiness, and problems that come from stressful jobs such as first responder roles.

Nye draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches to make sense of relational patterns and habits. That can include looking at core beliefs, practicing different ways of communicating, and testing small changes between sessions. He also brings Motivational Interviewing and Existential ideas into conversations about values and next steps.

His work covers challenges around kink and alternative sex culture, codependency, and communication problems without judgment. He supports clients who are wrestling with fatherhood concerns, family conflict, or the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Sessions aim to identify practical steps the client can try between meetings.

Nye offers services in English and accepts international clients. He uses a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Nye integrates approaches in online sessions

Nye uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection patterns shape current relationships. This approach helps people recognize repeated interactions and learn different ways of relating that reduce reactivity.

Client-Centered Therapy is another core method he uses. It focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns so sessions reflect the person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to name unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors between sessions; it works well for anxiety, self-esteem, and certain relationship habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nye will collaborate with the client to decide which methods best match their goals, values, and what feels doable. That collaborative process can shift as concerns change over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats suit different routines and goals, and Nye will discuss what fits your schedule and therapeutic aims during the initial steps.
