Therapeutic approaches and online care
Tracey commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods and emotionally-focused work in sessions. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns tied to addiction or codependency. Emotionally-focused work helps people understand and shift how they relate to important others, which is useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help with stress and grounding during strong emotions. These approaches are explained in simple terms and tried out together so the client can see what fits best. Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions, and she will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences.
