About Tracy
Tracy Clarke, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, sleep or eating concerns, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Tracy speaks English and works with clients in Pennsylvania and beyond.
Tracy uses clear, practical strategies from several approaches. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her work when a client wants to focus on values and living a meaningful life despite difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and collaborative. She emphasizes building trust first, then setting goals together. Sessions are guided by each person's needs and pace rather than a fixed agenda.
Tracy has six years of experience in mental health and holds a master’s degree and a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She has experience with addictions and a long history of working with people who have disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities. In sessions she uses skills training, reflective conversation, and practical exercises you can try between meetings.
She tailors tools to everyday life - managing stress at work, handling relationship conflict, or coping with grief. Tracy aims to help people find workable steps toward healthier routines and clearer choices.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems that persist despite effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that lead to unhelpful behavior and replacing them with clearer, more effective habits; it is often used for anxiety, insomnia, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns. Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, values-based actions, or relationship patterns, and they adjust the plan as progress is made. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and do guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or shorter sessions that fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, or travel.Questions people ask
