About Tracy
Tracy Clarke, LPC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and related concerns. She offers practical support for low self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and career stress. Tracy also works with people navigating ADHD, bipolar symptoms, relationship and intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue.
Tracy draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and Client-Centered Therapy. In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship and then uses concrete strategies to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns.
Her background includes a master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania and about six years working in mental health since 2016. She is in the last semester of a PhD program in counselor education and supervision at Waynesburg University. She has extensive experience with addictions counseling and with supporting people who have disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities.
In therapy you can expect a collaborative style. Tracy will listen first, then suggest practices and exercises that fit your life. That may include behavior-focused exercises, mindfulness and acceptance strategies, or skills for managing intense emotions.
People often come with a specific concern and leave with tools they can use day to day. Tracy supports clients in setting realistic goals and tracking progress. She works to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. It uses mindfulness and values-based actions to reduce the power of unhelpful thinking patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often includes practical exercises and tracking that fit well into daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to help people understand how they connect with others and how those patterns affect intimacy and trust. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That choice is based on the client's goals, personal history, and what feels most practical for their routine. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and help maintain continuity when schedules change. Some approaches, such as CBT homework or ACT exercises, adapt easily to online sessions and can be practiced between meetings. Therapists and clients often use the flexibility of remote appointments to support consistent progress without needing to rearrange large parts of the week.Areas of focus
