Online support options
How Tracy blends proven approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants to live more consistently with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing day-to-day symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, supports people processing traumatic memories by pairing focused recall with specific bilateral stimulation to reduce distress related to those memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy treats approach selection as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats. Video calls let people use visual cues and full conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact and brief reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using methods grounded in evidence and clinical experience.
