About Nicole

Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people reframe unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. Nicole lists stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among the areas she addresses.

She often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to understand how early relationships affect current connections. Nicole also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) tools when emotion regulation and close relationships are the focus. Her interest in neuroscience shapes how she explains behavior and mood to clients.

Nicole has worked in correctional settings and with people who have histories of substance use, which informs her practical approach to coping and relapse prevention. She has experience talking with people about couples and family dynamics and applies family-systems ideas when that fits the concern. She has also done grief work and trauma-informed care, including trauma-art narrative techniques.

She brings a teaching background from time spent as a psychology professor into sessions, explaining concepts in clear, everyday terms. Nicole prioritizes concrete goals - building coping strategies, adding self-care routines, and strengthening thinking patterns. She encourages clients to set small, realistic steps toward change.

People in early adulthood who are dealing with leaving home, career starts, relationship shifts, or feeling behind may find her practical, skills-focused style helpful. She works in English and does not accept international clients. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and trying new coping skills.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns show up now. This approach helps when relationship difficulties or intimacy issues are central. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in her work as well, helping couples or individuals name and shift emotional responses in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicole collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed. She explains the rationale for each method and helps clients try practical exercises between sessions.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT skill work and emotionally-focused interventions to remote sessions, and Nicole aims to help people translate tools into day-to-day life.
