About Nicole
Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. She holds a Master of Education in Counseling and has worked as an LPC for about ten years. She focuses on helping people use practical thinking tools and self-care to feel better day to day.
Nicole often uses cognitive approaches to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. Sessions typically include setting short-term goals, practicing coping skills, and creating small routines that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
She explains strategies plainly and helps clients try them between meetings. Her background includes work in correctional settings and supporting people with drug and alcohol histories. She has experience with relationship concerns and draws on family-systems ideas when family patterns affect wellbeing.
She also has classroom experience as a psychology instructor and enjoys explaining how the brain relates to behavior. Nicole uses a mix of methods to match what a person needs. She draws from client-centered listening, attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical skills, and emotionally-focused work.
She also incorporates mindfulness, narrative approaches, and trauma-informed practices when useful. People who appreciate clear steps, short-term goals, and learning about how thinking affects feeling often find her style helpful. She aims to help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and make steady changes that last.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Nicole commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new thinking patterns that change feelings and actions. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and closeness issues, helping people notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of connecting.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Nicole discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then adjusts methods as therapy unfolds. This collaborative process helps match strategies to each person’s situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, check-ins between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
