01About Nicole
Nicole Wheeler greets people with a calm, practical approach. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Pennsylvania with six years as a counselor and many more years in the mental health field overall. She aims to make things understandable and do-able for busy parents and individuals under stress.
Nicole focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, sleep problems, anger, and life changes. She also helps with parenting concerns, family conflict, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and attention challenges such as ADHD.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for people dealing with chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, autism concerns, and codependency or communication problems. Her main method blends mindfulness with cognitive behavioral ideas. In sessions she teaches clear skills to notice thoughts, build new habits, and try small changes that bring relief.
She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other approaches when they fit a person’s goals. Nicole emphasizes practical steps like identifying triggers, changing routines, and practicing new coping skills. For people facing obsessive behaviors she uses habit-reversal techniques and exposure-based strategies when appropriate.
She likes to help clients write the next chapter of their life by focusing on values, self-forgiveness, and steady progress. Teletherapy is part of her practice and she views it as a useful option for many with mild to moderate concerns. She asks people to share details about their symptoms and history so she can recommend the best path forward.

04Online support
Using mindful and behavioral approaches online
Nicole uses a mix of mindfulness-based cognitive techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most. Mindfulness-based cognitive work teaches basic skills to observe thoughts and practice small behavior changes that reduce suffering, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and persistent worry. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present, supporting work on life transitions, stress, and self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nicole works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person’s needs and goals, and adapts methods as progress is made. She will talk through options and try techniques together so the plan matches personal preferences and daily life demands.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits: video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, to practice skills in real time, and to keep momentum between appointments.
