How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a trusting, collaborative relationship. The therapist listens closely and helps clients identify what matters most to them and what goals to set.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and address unhelpful patterns.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels uncertain about a next step, such as shifting careers or making relationship changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Traci will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust strategies as progress is made and priorities shift.

Traci has experience working in virtual formats, and online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Confirm the specific session options before booking so they match your needs. Many people find online sessions help them maintain consistency, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight.
