About Tracy
With 27 years of experience as an LCSW, she adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes that build toward larger goals. Tracy emphasizes listening first, then working together to set clear, realistic steps.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that put the person’s priorities at the center of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to manage stress in the moment. When relationship problems come up she weaves in emotionally-focused and Gottman-informed ideas to improve connection and communication.
Tracy commonly supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and issues around intimacy and anger. She addresses career questions, life purpose, and patterns such as codependency, avoidant tendencies, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. The focus is on practical skills that fit into ordinary life.
Therapy with Tracy begins with a short plan based on what matters most to the client. She offers a steady, respectful presence while helping people try new ways of coping and relating. The aim is clearer thinking, better daily habits, and stronger relationships.

How Tracy’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing what matters most to the person and shaping the session around those priorities. This approach helps when someone needs an empathic listener who follows their lead and builds goals from their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood through concrete exercises.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns in close relationships. It helps people name hard feelings and try new ways of asking for connection, which can ease conflict and deepen understanding.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress unfolds so the work stays practical and relevant.
If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals also use online work to support consistent progress with homework and skill practice between meetings.
