About Tracey
Tracey Van Dyke, LPC, offers a warm, client-centered approach that puts each person's goals first. She blends practical strategies with empathic listening to help people reduce anxiety, manage stress, and work through relationship struggles. Tracey draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods to help clients find clearer thinking and small, achievable changes.
She also uses elements of emotionally-focused and trauma-informed work when deeper emotions or past hurts are involved. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, with a focus on what the client wants to accomplish.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist offers empathy, listens closely, and helps people clarify their goals so sessions reflect what matters most. This approach suits worries about relationships, self-esteem, and finding direction.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, phobias, and mood concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses between sessions.
Emotionally-focused ideas aim to help people notice and work with strong feelings in relationships and attachment pain. When past hurts affect current connections, these strategies help identify feelings and guide different ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and pace. That plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help people fit care into daily life and keep momentum between visits.
