About Patricia
Patricia (Trish) Nichols is a Wyoming LCSW with seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. She focuses on everyday problems that pile up - trouble sleeping, work stress, feeling stuck after a life change, and relationship conflicts. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.
Trish draws on practical, evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She also uses attachment-based ideas and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help people understand reactions and build steadier coping skills. In sessions she prefers clear conversations about what is happening now and skills to try between meetings.
Her work often centers on common life pressures: career strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image and eating concerns, and the fallout from trauma or abandonment. She helps people notice patterns that increase anger or anxiety, then practices small changes that reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Trish describes herself as client-centered. That means she listens first and then suggests approaches that fit a person's goals. She encourages concrete steps - short behavioral experiments, grounding practices, and thought-restructuring techniques - so progress can be measured week to week.
People who come in for anger work will find an emphasis on learning what triggers intense feelings and on practical strategies to respond differently. The aim is better day-to-day functioning and clearer choices about next steps, not quick fixes or labels.
How sessions work
Approach-focused online care and practical skills
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-driven action so someone can choose behaviors that matter even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape responses to stress and anger, helping people recognize and change automatic ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan rather than sticking to one fixed method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without needing a commute, or phone meetings when bandwidth is limited. These practical choices can help maintain continuity of care and make regular practice of skills more manageable.
