More about Tracy

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I have been working as a psychotherapist for over twenty-five years. I love working with people, helping them to find the path they want to take and supporting them in meeting their goals.

I work with a wide variety of clients. I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor and have been Certified as a (CADC) Certified Addictions Counselor, School Social Worker (to do in school assessments) and most recently Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

I see clients who struggle with a wide range of mental health mental health issues, addiction, or a combination of the two. I also work with clients struggling with stress, family issues, communication issues, grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and young adults' who live at home and are struggle to become independent I also have experience with autism spectrum disorders. Finally, I see many clients who are older and need support transitioning into retirement.

I use a wide variety of therapeutic styles. Before I settle on a precise therapy I get to know my clients and establish a relationship based on trust. It is important for me to understand my clients’ needs so I can understand what therapies will best work for them. In addition, I help my clients find tools, diversions, activities, and services I may not be able to provide, such as case management.

As a therapist my goal is to help my clients navigate the issues they are facing. I want them to know that they are in charge, but not alone. The thoughts and feelings of my clients are extremely important to me and I believe each client knows him or her self best even if they do not feel that way at first. I aim to act as someone who can listen and offer advice, insights, and a different perspective but I ultimately respect a client’s autonomy in making their own decisions. Part of my role is to provide support as a client works through their issues, and sometimes even just beginning to receive support can provide a huge relief.

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
