About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Nichols is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep disruptions, grief, and identity questions. She offers a straightforward, compassionate style and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Trish frames sessions around what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try small changes to see what shifts. Conversations cover coping skills for daily life, emotional processing after loss or trauma, and ways to rebuild confidence after hard experiences.
Her background includes seven years of clinical work in Wyoming with a range of concerns. Those include depression, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Trish also supports people coping with chronic illness, aging concerns, and adjustments after separation or major life change.
In sessions she blends approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and attachment-informed work to notice relationship patterns. She aims for clear, manageable strategies rather than technical jargon.
People who want help with sleep and rest can bring specific struggles into the work. Trish will talk through habits, stressors, and emotional factors that affect sleep and try practical adjustments that fit everyday life. To begin, she asks people to share what they want to change and what has helped before.
How therapy approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different responses to improve mood and behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns to help people understand how early connections influence current interactions and emotional responses.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. Over the first few sessions they adjust the plan together so the work matches the person's priorities and life circumstances.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or care for household needs. Talk with the therapist about how to shape session length and frequency to support sleep struggles, stress management, or grief work.
