About Tracy
Tracy Sweeney is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She brings a calm, practical style and works with clients on concerns like self-esteem, career choices, panic, and money and financial issues.
Tracy has 27 years of experience as a LICSW in Vermont. She uses Cognitive Behavioral approaches alongside mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She adapts methods to fit each person's situation rather than relying on a single technique.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and manageable steps. That might include learning grounding practices for panic, breaking large problems into smaller tasks, or practicing different ways of talking to yourself. The work aims to reduce day-to-day distress and build skills that carry over into normal life.
She also supports people navigating major life events such as divorce, caregiving stress, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, or addiction recovery. Tracy pays attention to family of origin patterns and feelings like guilt, shame, and emptiness that can shape reactions to money and other pressures.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Tracy aims to help people uncover their own strengths and move toward goals they set together. Prospective clients can expect straightforward conversation and actionable tools to try between sessions.
