Nicole Henning

Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Pennsylvania. She holds a Master of Education in Counseling and has about ten years of experience as an LPC. Nicole emphasizes practical strategies people can use right away to manage hard moments and improve day-to-day thinking.

She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help challenge unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. Nicole encourages simple self-care routines and real coping skills that fit into busy lives. She has worked with people who have experienced substance use issues and has clinical experience inside correctional settings.

Relationship work is part of her background, and she uses family systems ideas when it helps make sense of recurring patterns. Nicole is also interested in how the brain affects behavior and keeps learning about neuroscience and new treatment ideas. She has taught psychology and brings an educational approach to sessions when clients want clear explanations.

Other approaches she uses include client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy skills, emotion-focused ideas, and attachment-based perspectives. Nicole also incorporates trauma-informed practices, grief counseling, narrative techniques, and mindfulness-based work when appropriate.

Her stated goals with clients are to set realistic future goals, build coping skills, strengthen self-care, and support people as they move toward healthier patterns. Nicole aims to help people make steady, practical changes rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Many of Nicole's methods can be explained and practiced in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new evidence; this often involves short exercises, thought records, and action steps you can try between sessions. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current responses and help people notice patterns in closeness and conflict, which can be discussed and practiced in session.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She explains options, tries techniques together, and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow focused check-ins or skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so clients can keep making progress in everyday life.
