About Nicole

Nicole Wheeler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who brings six years of counseling experience alongside a long history in the mental health field.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as parenting and family dynamics. Clients may also find support for sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and LGBT-related issues.

Her practice emphasizes evidence-informed methods that blend mindfulness and cognitive techniques to teach coping skills, reshape unhelpful thinking patterns, and build practical strategies for daily life. Nicole uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered care to tailor work to each person’s needs.

She has additional experience with adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and related adjustment problems. Nicole welcomes clients who are exploring change and growth and who want a collaborative approach to therapy.

Sessions are offered online via multiple formats, and she asks for clear information about symptoms and history at intake to determine whether her skills match a prospective client's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Nicole integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT is useful for people wrestling with avoidance, anxiety, and life changes because it pairs acceptance skills with purposeful behavior.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, teach practical coping skills, and cultivate present-moment awareness. CBT helps with mood symptoms, anxiety, and many day-to-day struggles by breaking problems into manageable steps, while mindfulness practices support emotion regulation and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjust methods over time so the plan fits how a person wants to live and function.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of treatment, try different communication styles, and integrate therapy into daily life while working toward personal growth.
