About Nicole
Nicole Wheeler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with six years of counseling experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and major life changes. Her work also supports those dealing with parenting concerns, family conflict, sleep problems, and identity issues related to LGBT topics.
Nicole uses straightforward, practical techniques in sessions. She teaches coping skills, helps clients notice thinking patterns, and practices mindfulness exercises together. Sessions focus on small steps clients can try between meetings to build confidence and reduce distress.

Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She also has experience supporting people with chronic pain, chronic illness, and codependency. This breadth informs her flexible, person-focused approach.
Nicole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness therapy. She explains ideas plainly and tailors them to each person’s situation. Clients often learn practical strategies for managing triggers and changing unhelpful habits.
Online sessions are part of her practice and can be a convenient way to begin therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and build calm in everyday moments.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Nicole will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust strategies together based on what helps. She emphasizes practical exercises and homework so changes can be tested between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video calls support face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches that feel manageable.
