About Patricia

Patricia (Trish) Nichols is a licensed social worker who uses narrative-informed care to help people make sense of hard experiences. She is an LCSW practicing in Wyoming with seven years of clinical work. Trish aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can tell their stories and try out new ways of coping.

Trish focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma. She also helps people facing identity questions, career strain, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her practice includes support around aging, caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and attachment difficulties. Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions often look at how personal stories shape feelings and choices, then test small changes people can use day to day.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral tools, and attachment ideas to create straightforward strategies for coping and problem solving. Trish works in a person-centered way, centering each person's goals and values when planning next steps. She pays attention to relationship patterns and helps people recognize how old narratives influence current behavior.

The aim is to strengthen resilience and build clearer paths through life transitions. Clients can expect a steady, nonjudgmental presence and collaborative planning. Trish encourages practical skills alongside reflection so people can manage symptoms and move toward the life they want.

Online session options

How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online

Trish combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based perspectives to help people untangle their stories and try new ways of living. Narrative work focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative narratives that feel more helpful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then act in ways that match personal values. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping styles so people can choose healthier responses.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Trish will listen to what matters most and outline a plan that blends story work, values-based action, and relationship-focused insight. Together the client and therapist will adjust methods over time to find what fits goals and lifestyle.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers no video. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or scheduling quick support. These formats aim to make regular work on ideas and skills easier to fit into a busy life.
