01About Tracy
Tracy Clarke is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. She brings a direct, compassionate style and practical tools to conversations about relationship struggles, grief, ADHD, and self‑esteem. Tracy writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel doable for people juggling busy lives.
Tracy earned a master's degree from California University of Pennsylvania and has worked in mental health since 2016. She is finishing a PhD program in counselor education and supervision at Waynesburg University.
Background and approach
Her background includes many years supporting people with disabilities, including autism and intellectual disabilities. Her approach mixes several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. Tracy commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centered listening to create a steady, respectful space.
She also draws from dialectical skills when strong emotions make day-to-day coping hard. In sessions she focuses on building trust first. Then she and the person set clear, small goals and practice skills between sessions.
Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with room to talk about feelings and life history when it helps. Tracy works with a broad range of concerns including addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and attachment-related worries. She also assists people facing divorce, domestic violence, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Sessions are delivered in English and offered through several online formats.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues. Client‑Centered Therapy creates a steady, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the process and the therapist reflects and supports growth; this approach helps when someone needs listening and clarity about goals.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Tracy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and responses to different tools. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick updates, daily skill prompts, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to get consistent support from licensed professionals without extra travel or missed work.
