About Nicole
Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She centers much of her work on cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns while encouraging practical self-care and coping skills.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in correctional settings and with people who have histories of substance use, and she draws on that experience to inform a pragmatic, strengths-based approach. Her style blends evidence-informed methods such as CBT with client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives, and she integrates family systems ideas when relationships are part of the concern.
Nicole also brings training in trauma-informed care, grief work, mindfulness-based practices, narrative and solution-focused techniques, and trauma-art narrative therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She places value on psychoeducation and enjoys teaching about neuroscience and mental health as part of the therapeutic process.
Nicole aims to support clients in setting achievable goals, building coping skills, and cultivating self-care and self-compassion. Her practice emphasizes understanding the whole person - physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental - while guiding clients toward more effective ways of managing stress, mood, relationships, and life transitions.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits
Nicole often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy principles to explore relational patterns and how early attachment experiences may shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful when working on intimacy, trust, or family dynamics. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are available to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.Selecting the right therapeutic approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as priorities change, drawing from different techniques to create a personalized plan that emphasizes skills-building and achievable goals.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from different locations within Pennsylvania, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while engaging in consistent, licensed professional support.
