Nicole McDuff

Nicole McDuff is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Pennsylvania with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, and family of origin concerns.

She integrates techniques from several therapeutic approaches to shape an individualized plan for each person. Her clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These tools are used selectively to match the goals and needs presented in sessions.

At the outset of work together the first meeting typically covers introductions, the reasons the person has sought support, and exploration of relevant past experiences and current stressors. From there she and the individual identify goals to guide subsequent sessions and build a practical plan for meeting those goals.
