Tracy uses a blend of evidence-informed methods so sessions fit the person, not the other way around.
How Tracy works
She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and dialectical behavior therapy. Conversations focus on manageable steps and skills that can be used between sessions. Her background includes a master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania and six years of clinical experience in mental health settings.
She is also completing a PhD in counselor education and supervision at Waynesburg University in her final semester. Tracy has a strong history working with people affected by addiction and with individuals who have disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities. In sessions she prioritizes a trusting relationship and practical goals.
Expect straightforward conversation, clear strategies, and regular check-ins on progress. Tracy adapts techniques to each person’s needs, combining skill building with attention to emotions and relationships. People often contact her about life changes, complex loss, or co-occurring concerns like mood and substance use.
She offers help in English and is available to international clients through online formats.

Online support options
Online approaches plus flexible session options
Tracy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also applies Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and emotional needs. This work can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracy will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose or combine methods that fit your situation. That collaboration continues as progress is tracked and plans are adjusted.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines and comfort levels. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is a quick way to check in, and messaging supports shorter updates or ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on clear goals and usable skills.
