About Nicole
Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She uses practical talk and clear tools to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and major life changes. Her approach aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first session.
Nicole emphasizes changing unhelpful thought patterns and building daily self-care. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge irrational thinking and teach more balanced responses.
How Nicole works
Sessions also involve learning coping skills and small, achievable steps toward goals. She brings experience from work in corrections and with people impacted by substance use, and she has spent time teaching psychology at the college level. Those roles shaped a straightforward style that blends psychoeducation with hands-on skill building.
Nicole keeps up with developments in neuroscience and integrates that knowledge where it helps clients understand themselves better. Alongside CBT, Nicole uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to create a respectful, collaborative space. She also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused work when those fit a person's needs.
The result is a practical mix tailored to real-life problems like career strain, compassion fatigue, chronic health struggles, and intimacy concerns. In sessions she focuses on the whole person - physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental aspects all matter. The goal is to help clients set concrete goals, practice self-care, and build skills that last beyond therapy.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on thinking, emotion, and connection
Nicole often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and try different, more balanced thoughts. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear steps to change day-to-day reactions.She also draws from attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen emotional understanding and the therapeutic relationship. Attachment-based methods look at how early connections shape current patterns, while client-centered work emphasizes listening, respect, and helping the client lead the pace of change.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Nicole will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then try techniques that match those needs. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be a good fit when less bandwidth is available, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when life gets complicated.
