Lilly Knopic,

Hello, I’m Lilly Knopic (she/her). Welcome to my page!

Pain and unwanted emotions are a normal part of our human experience. However, our emotions have a function.  When we experience an unwanted emotion, it often prompts unhelpful reactions or non-preferred sensations. If you have difficulty accepting or coping with a problem in life, I welcome you to begin therapy sessions with me to learn alternative ways of working through your emotions.

I can also support you in managing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, motherhood, perinatal/pregnancy difficulties, and more.

My Education, Specialties & Skills

I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2007, and my experience as a therapist includes training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, which is pronounced like the verb “to act”), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Polyvagal Theory. In addition to earning my Masters in Counseling with dual credits in clinical and school counseling, I’ve worked in community-based behavioral health programming with children and families, partial programming, and group therapy.

My diverse background in mental health has fostered my belief in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will partner with you to create a plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Using ACT in our Sessions Together

ACT is an evidence-based approach that teaches you strategies to take committed actions relating to what matters most to you. I will utilize ACT and process-based therapy to guide you in learning effective mental habits that improve your well-being, psychological flexibility, and emotion regulation skills.  I will help you release your inner critic and persist in being flexible and engaged in your values. I will guide you through the processes of skill-building related to mindfulness, perspective-taking, self-compassion, and acceptance.

Therapy for Mothers

Currently, I also support adults navigating a variety of life transitions. More specifically, due to my own life experiences, I support mothers and those in the perinatal chapter of life. Therapy for mothers provides a space to prioritize needs when so many daily expectations involve focusing on others.

About Me

I enjoy focusing on myself through movement, listening to music and podcasts, and spending time outdoors. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in painting and ceramics, so I enjoy any outlet where I can be creative, such as decorating, gardening, and painting landscape scenes.

Daily self-care and self-compassion skills are essential in my own life. These actions release the “feel good” transmitters and prompt more balanced emotions to help us move through stress.

I am passionate about being present and supporting ways to improve moments in your life. Seeking help takes courage, and visiting my page is one step closer to getting unstuck and building your “life worth living.” I hope for the opportunity to learn all about your story, and I look forward to being on this journey alongside you.
