About Misty
Misty Knapp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those facing relationship tensions, family strain, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. She focuses on practical communication skills.
That includes helping people say what they mean and listen without escalating conflict. She also helps people build coping skills for overwhelming feelings and confusing changes.
Background and approach
Misty uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These approaches are used to create simple, usable tools for daily life.
Sessions are collaborative. Misty works with each person to identify strengths and set realistic goals. She emphasizes small, steady steps so progress feels manageable and meaningful.
Her work aims to increase confidence and reduce the weight of everyday stressors. People leave with clear strategies for handling anxiety, talking through relationship problems, and navigating life changes with more ease.
How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses for anxiety and stress in real situations. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal skills. Those DBT strategies help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which strategies to try first based on goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative process allows methods to be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided skills practice. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share brief updates, get reminders, and practice skills between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on usable tools and steady progress.
