Online support options
Using practical approaches online to build skills and cope
Traci commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood while they set goals. CBT targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Traci will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as skills improve or new issues come up, so therapy stays practical and focused on real-world changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between longer sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practice skills in daily life.
