Approaches Tracy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions focus on small experiments and simple exercises to practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to change patterns that cause distress. In remote sessions CBT often uses short worksheets, real-time problem solving, and homework that fits a daily routine. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. In virtual work this can mean naming patterns, practicing new ways of relating, and checking in about how changes feel.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That process may combine elements from different approaches and adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
