Background and approach
After completing her master's in 1996, she spent eleven years working as a child protective services worker for the State of Louisiana. That experience shaped her interest in counseling and how trauma affects families and individuals. Tracy has provided counseling through a nonprofit funded by a federal grant to serve victims of sexual abuse, rape, and domestic violence.
She has extensive experience working with people who have lived through trauma and abuse, and she emphasizes safety, pacing, and practical coping skills in those cases. Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, existential ideas, and trauma-focused practices. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skill-building, and understanding how past experiences influence current feelings and choices.
Tracy is licensed as an LPC in Mississippi and has seven years of counseling experience. Sessions are conducted in English, and she is open to working with international clients when logistics allow.
How therapy approaches and online care can work together
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem and clarifying personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, using techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients collaborate with the therapist to shape treatment that matches their needs and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or from different locations. Some formats may also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based visits when video is difficult. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and what will work best for scheduling and the goals of therapy.
