About Nancy
Nancy Tracy is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people through major life changes and the hard feelings that come with them. Nancy aims to create a steady, accepting space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
Her work commonly addresses LGBT concerns, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also helps people dealing with body image, commitment issues, family of origin concerns, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.
Background and approach
First responders, people navigating aging, and those affected by HIV / AIDS are among the additional areas she supports. Nancy uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy offers ways to notice and change painful interaction patterns. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Nancy listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients build small, doable strategies for daily life. She encourages experiments between sessions so new habits can be tested and refined. People who prefer a calm, collaborative style often find this approach useful.
Nancy aims to help clients gain clearer direction, steadier relationships, and stronger emotional regulation over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what really matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps uncover patterns in close relationships and build different ways of connecting during conflict.Nancy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to your goals, tries methods that fit your needs, and adjusts based on what works. Together the therapist and client decide which tools to use and when to change course if something feels off.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you keep visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick questions, ongoing support between sessions, or when it helps to write things out. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules shift.
