About Tracie
Tracie Gillispie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She brings 23 years of experience to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and mood disorders. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to help people find workable steps forward.
Tracie uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on attachment ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions mix short-term skills with a longer view of personal values and goals. People often come for help with things like grief, low self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, and life changes such as divorce or adoption challenges. Tracie also supports those dealing with codependency, commitment questions, or caregiver stress.
She frames concerns plainly and focuses on what someone can do next. Her approach centers on listening without judgment and helping people name strengths they already have. Tracie encourages small, consistent steps that match each person's life and priorities.
She sees the therapeutic relationship as a place to practice new ways of coping and relating. Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of talk, practical exercises, and mindfulness skills when helpful. People who choose to work with her complete a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule sessions based on mutual availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying what matters to them and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on action that aligns with personal priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood regulation.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current expectations and patterns in close relationships. It can be useful for intimacy issues, commitment concerns, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, temperament, and schedule. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be more accessible when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging can help people keep momentum between sessions or fit short coaching-style contacts into a busy day. These options aim to provide flexibility and steady support while working toward meaningful change.
