Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Tracie integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, helping people explore their own goals and values while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the specific effects of traumatic experiences, offering strategies to reduce symptoms and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tracie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions that are practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when someone connects with a licensed professional. Tracie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into busy lives while working with a trained therapist.
