Rori Knott, LCPC

Rori Knott, LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor), is a Maine-based therapist who brings 20 years of experience to her work. She approaches counseling as a collaborative process, listening to each person's ideas and preferences and partnering with them to identify practical steps toward their goals.

Over the past decade, Rori has focused deeply on somatic approaches and Internal Family Systems (IFS), building a nuanced understanding of how trauma can shape experience and behavior. Much of her practice has centered on supporting people with depression and anxiety, and she also works with issues related to stress, relationships, and self-esteem.

Rori emphasizes the relief that can come from talking through concerns and developing tailored strategies that fit each individual. She offers both tele-health and in-person appointments to accommodate different needs and circumstances. Prospective clients are invited to reach out by phone or email to schedule an appointment and begin the process of working together.

Integrating Somatic and IFS Work in Online Therapy

Rori Knott uses somatic approaches and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore how emotions and past experiences show up in the body and in internal parts of the self. Somatic work focuses on awareness of bodily sensations and simple regulation techniques that can reduce stress and help people feel more grounded, which is often useful for anxiety and stress-related concerns. Internal Family Systems helps clients identify and relate to different internal parts - for example protective or vulnerable parts - so they can understand patterns that contribute to depression, relationship strain, or low self-esteem.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Rori collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for scheduling and for maintaining continuity of care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, to work from a familiar environment, and to access licensed professionals from a distance while pursuing consistent, evidence-informed therapeutic work.
