About Nicole

Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She draws on a background that includes work in correctional settings and with people who have histories of substance use. Nicole uses practical tools to help people change thought patterns and add self-care into daily life.

She leans on cognitive behavioral methods to challenge unhelpful thinking and build more useful habits. Sessions often focus on setting small goals, learning coping skills, and practicing ways to manage stress and mood. Nicole also uses client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to help people feel heard and understood.

Her experience includes supporting people through relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction recovery, and major life transitions. She also lists adoption and foster care as an area of additional focus, alongside issues like abandonment and attachment concerns. Nicole brings curiosity about the brain to her work and keeps up with new research and trainings in neuroscience.

Nicole describes her style as practical and educational. She enjoys teaching and often explains how skills work so clients can use them between sessions. People who prefer straightforward tools and clear goals may find this approach helpful.

In sessions she considers physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental aspects of life. Her goal is to help people set future-facing goals, build coping strategies, and practice self-care so they can move toward the life they want.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on safety, connection, and repairing emotional bonds, which can help with intimacy-related worries and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks big problems into small steps, teaches straightforward skills, and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together they adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they make regular meetings easier to schedule around work, school, or caregiving. Online work also lets a therapist share worksheets, skill practices, and short check-ins that support learning between meetings. If you want to know whether a particular format is offered, check the session options when you schedule.
