Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Tracy integrates evidence-informed approaches to help clients address distress and build meaningful change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. It helps clients develop new ways of thinking and coping that reduce distress and improve functioning.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT is useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of self-destructive behavior and offers concrete tools for stability and balance.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult internal experiences. ACT can be helpful for clients coping with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, or life transitions by shifting focus toward what matters most.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tracy works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and stage of change. Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, expand access across locations within Michigan, and offer flexible ways to practice skills and stay connected between appointments.
