How Traci works
She draws on client-centered work to listen deeply and make room for each person’s story. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way, and solution-focused steps aim to create manageable change quickly. Her background includes seven years of professional counseling experience in California.
That experience has included work in nonprofit and educational settings supporting people through life transitions and workplace stress. Traci emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Sessions are collaborative.
She and the person set goals together and try practical tools between meetings. Traci also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and psychodynamic ideas when exploring how past patterns affect present choices. People who choose Traci can expect straightforward language, focused goals, and a respectful, steady approach to problem solving.
She frames therapy as a partnership aimed at realistic progress and greater day-to-day coping.

How Traci’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. Online sessions let a therapist follow your lead, reflect what you say, and create a steady therapeutic relationship that encourages openness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with clearer patterns. In remote sessions this often means setting specific goals, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing progress together. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and reinforcing motivation; it works well in short conversational exchanges and goal planning.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. If one approach does not feel right, they will adjust the plan and test different strategies until something clicks.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, on-the-go reflection, and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines while still working toward meaningful change.
