About Nicole

Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. She holds a Master of Education in Counseling and brings a background that includes work in corrections and with people who have substance use histories.

Nicole focuses on practical ways to change thinking and behavior. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help challenge unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful habits. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when relationships and emotional patterns are central concerns.

Sessions tend to include straightforward skill teaching. Clients learn coping skills, ways to manage stress and anxiety, and strategies for boosting self-esteem and handling anger. Nicole also works with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction recovery, and life transitions, and she addresses intimacy-related issues and relationship concerns.

She has experience with couples and family systems theory and uses Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's goals. Nicole also integrates mindfulness practices and elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed.

Her approach is educational and practical. She talks through goals, offers exercises to try between sessions, and reviews what is or isn't working. People who want clear tools for coping, and who appreciate a mix of relational and skills-based work, may find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns and interaction cycles to help people name feelings that are hard to describe and change unhelpful relational responses. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection needs and helps people notice and shift attachment patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior by teaching specific exercises to test thoughts and build new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicole will work with clients to identify what fits their goals and preferences, combining relational focus with skills-based practice when useful. That collaborative planning helps shape each session and the short-term targets to work toward.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice skills in their usual environment and bring real-life interactions into the conversation for immediate reflection.
