About Nicole

Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She uses cognitive behavioral approaches alongside other methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life changes.

She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to teach concrete coping skills. Nicole has worked in correctional settings and with people who have substance use histories, which informs her direct, practical approach to problem solving.

Nicole also draws on Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas when relationship and family issues are involved. She pays attention to how people connect with others and how those patterns affect daily life. Sessions often include goal setting and skill practice rather than only talk about feelings.

Her background includes teaching psychology, which she uses to explain concepts in clear, everyday language. She keeps up with new research on the brain and brings that learning into sessions in straightforward ways that clients can use at home.

Clients can expect focused work on coping skills, self-care routines, and steps to change thinking and behavior. Nicole aims to help people set practical goals, reduce overwhelming emotions, and build small habits that improve functioning at home and work.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Nicole frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT focuses on specific skills and short-term tasks, which can be adapted into exercises to do between sessions.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centered methods when relationship patterns are a concern. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current connections, and client-centered work emphasizes the person's goals and perspective while the therapist listens and reflects.

Finding the right approach is something she will do together with each client. She will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend which combination of methods to use. That conversation can change as therapy progresses and as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use techniques at home between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and tracking to the way a client prefers to work online.
