Nikole Klatka,

Hi, I’m Nikole Klatka, LPC, but people call me Nikki.

My Experience & Education

I am experienced in counseling people for many mental health conditions, including my specialties of anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, stress, life adjustments, adapting to college, or just finding your way in life as a young adult regardless of your career plans.

In May 2022, I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lock Haven University. That same year I became a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a rigorous, examination-based professional certification showing that I’ve demonstrated an ongoing commitment to the field of counseling.

I am experienced in working with children and teens, college students, and young adults who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism symptoms.

My Experience with Anxiety & How I Can Help You

I have lived with my own anxiety symptoms for as long as I can remember. Shaking hands, sweaty palms, gasping for air, and racing thoughts became part of my typical daily life. As I grew older, I became increasingly frustrated with how my anxiety was starting to take over.

After numerous trials with researching and trying out different coping mechanisms on my own, I partnered with mental health therapists. I discovered the key to improving my mental health was to improve all other aspects of my well-being. Knowing I wasn’t alone in my experiences proved to be valuable in my journey to managing a better life and my symptoms of anxiety.

This early life experience enabled me to empathize with people living with anxiety and empowered me to begin teaching others what I had learned.  I hope you can learn to manage your own mental health symptoms, too.  I aim to use my training, education, and early life experiences to help you become your best self. I hope you take a chance on therapy, too.  

My Training & Techniques

My formal training includes the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, but I also incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Mindfulness-based modalities to help my clients reach their goals. I may also include my Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) training during therapy.  

Alongside my formal training, I will tailor my therapy approach based on your needs to meet your unique needs.  Ultimately, what you can expect from me is authenticity and a comforting space where you can express your innermost thoughts and emotions and be your true self.  I am here to walk alongside you on this journey.

In My Free Time

When I’m not providing therapy, I spend my time reading, doing yoga, playing with my pup, exploring new places, bingeing Netflix and Hulu shows, and buying more plants (you can never have enough!).
