Hello, I’m Lilly Knopic (she/her). Welcome to my page!
Many of us experience more unwanted emotions than the preferred ones, which can prompt our unhelpful reactions. If you have difficulty accepting or coping with a problem in life, I welcome you to begin therapy sessions with me. I can also support you if you’re having difficulty managing anxiety, depression, grief, or unhelpful thinking patterns.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will partner with you to create a plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek help to build your “life worth living.” Visiting my page is one step closer to finding the support you need. I hope for the opportunity to learn all about your story, and I look forward to being on this journey alongside you.
I’ve worked in the mental health field for 17 years. 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 experience in mental health includes training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Polyvagal Theory.
ACT and DBT will guide you to learn effective mental habits that increase your well-being and improve your emotion regulation skills. ACT is an evidence-based approach that teaches you strategies to take committed action related to what matters most to you. I will help you release your inner critic and persist in being open and engaged in your values. I will guide you through the processes of developing problem-solving techniques, including skill-building related to mindfulness, self-compassion, and acceptance.
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.
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 important in my life, especially as we know 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.

Lilly Knopic provides online therapy sessions to anyone in Pennsylvania.
Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Many individuals feel like they are at war with their bodies. Whether it’s feeling shame, guilt, or giving ourselves critical comments about our bodies, we can be our own worst enemy. Our therapists can help you feel at peace with your body and learn to be kind to yourself.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Move Forward Counseling is an inclusive practice where we want the LGBTQIA+ community to feel welcome and supported. Whether you are unsure how to embrace your identity, are having relationship issues, or need extra support from a non-judgmental person, we have therapists who can help.
Trauma symptoms and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be debilitating for many who experience it. Recovery from trauma is possible and we have therapists who can help.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
Caregiving for a loved one can be challenging even in the best of circumstances. Often we don’t think about how the caregiver needs support, too. If you are experiencing burnout, our therapists can teach you skills to help you cope.
Depression and anxiety are extremely common, but often under-diagnosed by medical providers during pregnancy and postpartum. Our providers have specialized training to help women with anxiety and depression in this specific period in their lives.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
