Jody Nichols

Jody “Nick” Nichols is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Arkansas with more than 35 years of experience. He served seven years in the United States Air Force at Little Rock Air Force Base and subsequently earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology followed by a graduate degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. He is licensed in Arkansas as a clinical social worker, which means he has met the state standards for independent clinical practice.

Nichols draws on a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Christian counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family therapy, tailoring interventions to the unique needs of each person. He has worked in multiple practice settings and has experience addressing a broad range of behavioral health concerns - stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression and grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleep disorders, parenting difficulties, anger management, self-esteem challenges, career problems, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

His clinical goal is to help people gain insight, reach their objectives, and find renewed hope while moving toward healthier ways of living. He also hopes individuals, couples, and families can recognize and use the unique gifts and abilities he believes God has given each person, supporting clients in discovering greater confidence, peace, and joy.

Outside of work he enjoys spending time outdoors - hiking, bicycling, camping, playing outdoor sports, and helping his wife with gardening. He and his wife relocated to northwest Arkansas about five years ago and appreciate living in a region where outdoor activities are popular.
