About Tracie
Tracie Gillispie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on 23 years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day. Tracie works from Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English.
Tracie uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. She often brings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice what matters most and take values-guided action.
How Tracie works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build skills that change behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.
She assumes people know their story best and helps them find the path forward. Sessions focus on practical tools, clearer communication, and small changes that add up over time. Tracie also pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current patterns.
That helps when someone struggles with abandonment, codependency, or intimacy-related issues. She supports work on parenting strain, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress. People may come with mood concerns such as depression or bipolar symptoms, sleep and eating issues, grief, or the fallout from life changes.
Tracie combines coaching elements with therapy to set realistic goals and track progress in a way that feels doable.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Tracie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small meaningful steps toward a life they want. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choosing actions that fit what matters most.She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work to identify negative thinking patterns and replace them with practical coping strategies. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns because it connects thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in clear, manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tracie will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on a person’s goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring. She will check in regularly and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can support short reflections, coaching-style prompts, and ongoing reminders between sessions to help keep momentum.
