Background and approach
She also supports people coping with grief, addictions, and major life changes. Tracy draws from several therapy methods to match the situation.

How Tracy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by processing them in a structured way when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracy will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's history and comfort level. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills work, emotion-focused sessions, or trauma processing at any point.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls let people use visual cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
