About Patricia
Patricia "Trish" McMillan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, goal-oriented therapy. She draws on approachable methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Trish keeps sessions straightforward and centered on what matters to each person.
Trish has seven years of recent experience delivering brief, solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral approaches. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. She aims to be direct, respectful, and occasionally light-hearted when that helps progress.
In sessions she helps people identify patterns that fuel worry or low mood. She and the client work on small, doable steps that build better routines and coping skills. Practical tools are paired with attention to the emotions behind problems like grief, relationship strain, and sleep disruption.
Her additional experience includes caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, blended family issues, aging and geriatric topics, and first responder stress. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, and guilt and shame when these come up in therapy.
Trish practices in Arizona and conducts sessions in English. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and tailors scheduling to each person’s needs. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and supports clients through common setbacks.
