Teletherapy style and methods



Tracey offers online sessions that bring together skill-based and relational approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to encourage committed action toward meaningful goals, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and modify patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills in emotion regulation and distress tolerance for people who want concrete tools to manage intense feelings.

In an online setting she emphasizes collaboration: sessions focus on identifying what an individual hopes to change, choosing approaches that fit those goals, and practicing skills between meetings. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused elements are available to explore relationship patterns and deepen emotional processing when that is relevant to the presenting concerns.

Online work can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are intended to allow different forms of contact while maintaining a consistent therapeutic plan and ongoing communication about progress and next steps.
