About Patricia

Patricia (Trish) Nichols is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, WY LCSW, with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress.

Trish draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people name and make sense of hard emotions. She uses plain language in sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Her work addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness.

She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful, guiding people to notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas shape how she listens and responds during conversations. Sessions can include skills practice, behavioral experiments, or reflective discussion depending on what a person needs.

Trish has experience supporting people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and cancer-related challenges. She also works with those navigating identity and LGBT-related issues, divorce and separation, and abandonment wounds. Her approach is straightforward and focused on building resilience and clearer emotional understanding.

All sessions are conducted in English. People interested in starting an initial meeting complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online process. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Patricia uses EFT and related approaches online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and attachment responses that drive recurring patterns. It is often used when feelings are hard to pin down and relationships with others or with oneself feel strained. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that line up with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought and behavior loops and encourages tests of new ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust the mix of EFT, ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening as sessions reveal what helps most.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. They also let people work with a licensed professional from their own location and try different ways of practicing skills between meetings. If scheduling or format questions are important, check the session options during the sign-up process.
