About Nicole

Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with a decade of clinical experience. She centers her work on helping clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside strategies to build sustainable self-care and coping skills.

Background and approach

Nicole brings experience from correctional settings and substance use work, and she has engaged with couples and family systems in clinical practice. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with interest in neuroscience and ongoing professional learning.

Nicole also uses client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives to create collaborative sessions where goals and strengths guide the work. She has taught psychology at the college level, which influences her emphasis on psychoeducation and practical tools clients can use between sessions.

Nicole aims to support people through life transitions, grief, trauma, addiction recovery, relationship challenges, mood concerns, and stress-related struggles. She frames therapy as a process of setting concrete goals, practicing new skills, and cultivating resilience across emotional, physical, and spiritual domains.

Online approaches that combine skills and relationship work

Nicole often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and test unhelpful thoughts, learn specific coping strategies, and develop more adaptive behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems. She also incorporates Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas to explore relationship patterns, strengthen emotional connection, and create a collaborative therapeutic alliance that honors each person's experience and values.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, assess which methods fit best, and adjust techniques over time so the work stays aligned with personal needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to continue therapeutic progress when attending in-person care is difficult, and they allow clients to practice skills and receive support in ways that match their daily routines and comfort levels.
