About Tracy Russell

Tracy Russell is a licensed mental health provider in Nebraska with 13 years of professional experience helping people across the lifespan address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and attention-related concerns. She works with clients of all ages and has particular experience supporting children and adolescents ages 4-18 who face severe behavior issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life challenges, as well as the parents and caregivers who support them.

Holding the credential LIMHP, which denotes a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, she combines clinical skill with an approachable, conversational style. Tracy draws on an undergraduate degree in elementary education and often brings a teacher's curiosity and a detective-like attention to patterns into sessions, noticing triggers and behavioral trends that can help inform treatment. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and where practical, achievable goals are set to support progress both in therapy and in daily life.

Described as patient, compassionate, and caring, she balances straightforward feedback with gentle encouragement. Tracy emphasizes realistic, short-term objectives at the outset and collaborates with clients to expand goals when they are ready. She guides gently and expects clients to do the hard work of change, adjusting recommendations when something does not fit a client's comfort or readiness. Taking that first step, she acknowledges, takes courage, and she affirms clients for beginning the process.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens with empathy, helps clients identify their own strengths, and supports them in setting goals that feel meaningful and manageable. This approach is helpful for people facing general stress, depression, or relationship and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by using practical exercises and skills training. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and attention-related challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences by working at a pace set by the client, using strategies that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It is suited for those dealing with abuse, post-traumatic stress, and related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Tracy collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps ensure the care fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver consistent, goal-focused treatment while accommodating each client’s lifestyle and communication preferences.
