About Nicole

Nicole Henning is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, addiction histories, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Nicole also notes a focus on blended family issues and attachment concerns.

Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. She pairs that work with client-centered approaches that prioritize the person’s perspective. Sessions include practical skills for coping, pacing self-care, and setting short-term goals.

Her background includes work in corrections and with people who have drug and alcohol histories. She has also taught psychology at the college level, which she says informs how she explains concepts about the brain and behavior. Nicole follows trauma-informed practices and draws on narrative and mindfulness-based methods when helpful.

In sessions she often brings ideas from family systems and attachment-based thinking to talk through relationship patterns. She describes using solution-focused strategies when clients want concrete steps and measurable changes. When grief, anger, or intimacy issues come up she mixes skills work with conversation about meaning and boundaries.

Nicole emphasizes clear goals and small, doable changes. She encourages clients to try coping strategies between sessions and to notice what helps. People who want straightforward feedback, practical tools, and discussion of blended household challenges may find her approach useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Nicole commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can help with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and reactions, which can be useful when navigating blended household roles and loyalty conflicts. Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Nicole will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean a mix of skills practice from CBT and relational exploration from attachment-based work, depending on what the client wants to focus on. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or after work. Some formats can be less demanding on bandwidth or camera use, and others let people do longer, more reflective sessions. Discussing practical scheduling needs is part of the initial matching and planning process with the clinician.
