Nicole Wheeler, LPC

Nicole Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with six years of counseling experience and many more years in the mental health field. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, grief, and life changes. Nicole also supports people facing parenting and family challenges, sleep problems, anger, and career stress. She uses straightforward skills to help people feel steadier day to day.

Nicole favors a mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach that blends attention to thoughts with practical behavior changes. She teaches simple ways to recognize unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and shift routines so clients notice real differences. Her work often includes habit reversal strategies for issues such as skin picking and hair pulling, and elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

She has experience with autism, adoption and foster care matters, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency. Nicole often helps with communication problems, control and dependent personality patterns, dissociation, fertility and forgiveness issues, and the guilt that follows trauma or loss.

Nicole encourages clients to reflect on values and small changes that add up. She invites people to describe their story and to try tools that fit their day-to-day life. For those new to treatment, she sees online work as a practical starting point to build skills and confidence.

Before beginning work, she asks for clear information about symptoms and any trauma history so she can determine whether online care is a good match for each person.

How mindfulness and CBT translate to online therapy

Online work with Nicole often uses mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people notice thoughts and change habits. Mindfulness therapy focuses on paying attention to the present moment and learning simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that lead to distress and teaches practical steps to test and change those thoughts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and daily routine. She encourages trying tools and adjusting them over time so therapy fits real life.

The original profile highlights online care as a good way to begin treatment, especially for mild to moderate concerns, but does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm which formats are available when scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins between in-person visits, and reduce travel time so people can focus on practicing new skills in their everyday settings.
