Nicole Wheeler, LPC

Nicole Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with six years of formal counseling experience and many additional years in the mental health field. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, and blended family issues. She also supports people facing chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and communication or control problems.

Nicole uses a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach as her main framework. She teaches how thoughts influence feelings and shares practical coping skills to change patterns that keep people stuck. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational techniques, and habit-related methods when they fit the issue.

In sessions she focuses on identifying triggers, changing the environment when possible, and practicing skills that reduce distress. For obsessive behaviors she uses exposure and response approaches alongside habit reversal strategies. She asks clients to describe symptoms and trauma details on intake so she can assess how well online work will meet their needs.

Nicole notes that telehealth can be a helpful starting place for mild to moderate concerns and for people new to treatment. She recommends in-person care when trauma is moderate to severe or when a different intervention is likely to be needed. Her style is practical and skills-based, with direct work on thinking patterns and daily routines.

She welcomes adults who want to sort out parenting challenges, merge households, manage loyalty or communication conflicts in blended family settings, or build steady coping skills for anxiety and mood differences.
