Background and approach

People are invited to tell their story and then build practical steps forward that fit their life. Her work blends Existential therapy with cognitive and behavioral tools. That means conversations about meaning and choice sit alongside hands-on strategies for changing thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those tools match a person's goals. Sessions tend to focus on what a person wants to change now and what small steps feel doable. Tracy aims to create a clear plan and to teach skills people can use between sessions.

Progress is measured in everyday changes the person notices. Tracy practices in Michigan and offers support in English. Her style is calm, direct, and practical, with an emphasis on helping people take workable steps toward a more manageable life.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential therapy invites conversations about meaning, choice, and what matters most in life. Online sessions can create space to name values, weigh difficult decisions, and consider how to live more deliberately. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it pairs acceptance with practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying ACT skills for a few weeks, then adding CBT strategies for thoughts and behaviors, or turning to existential questions when the focus shifts to meaning and purpose.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and when seeing facial cues helps the conversation. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, worksheets, or brief skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and let people keep momentum while life is busy.
