How Tracy uses therapy approaches online
Tracy draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and stress and focuses on practical steps and experiments that can be tried between sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take action even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful when someone wants to live in line with what matters to them while managing painful thoughts or emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy remains a collaborative process.
If you are considering online therapy, check the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not to use video and choose audio or text-based check-ins for lower bandwidth or less screen time; confirm what is offered and suitable when you arrange sessions.
