Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Tracy Dawson combines client-centered care with goal-focused techniques to support people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist listens attentively and helps the client explore their values and priorities while the client directs the pace and focus of sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-oriented, often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and routine coping strategies.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonconfrontational approach that supports people who are feeling uncertain about change. It helps clarify personal motivations and builds readiness for action, which can be helpful for life transitions and setting meaningful goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tracy works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with Tracy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so care can fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals, maintain momentum between sessions, and adapt the way sessions are held to match an individual’s comfort and routine.
