To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The goal is to work together to find approaches that fit each person's needs and goals.

How Tracey’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers reflection, and helps people make choices that match their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses specific exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with emotions that shape how they connect with others, which can be helpful for intimacy issues and relationship repair.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Tracey will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as progress is made and new issues come up, keeping the process flexible and goal-oriented.
