About Tracy
Tracy Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports concerns related to LGBT issues, relationships, grief, intimacy, sleep and eating, anger, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Tracy works with adults facing complex life changes and co-occurring challenges.
She trained at California University of Pennsylvania and has worked in mental health since 2016. She is completing a PhD in counselor education and supervision at Waynesburg University. That background informs a thoughtful, evidence-minded approach without relying on a single technique.
In sessions she keeps things practical and person-focused. Tracy combines cognitive behavioral tools with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered listening. She also draws on attachment-based thinking and dialectical skills when they match a person’s goals.
Tracy places strong value on the relationship between therapist and client. She aims to build trust so people feel safe to talk through painful events, addictive patterns, or long-standing worries. Goals and techniques are set together, and she adjusts methods to fit each person’s needs.
Her work includes extensive experience with addictions and with people who have autism and intellectual disabilities. That experience shapes how she explains skills, structures sessions, and tracks progress. Tracy welcomes people who want clear, practical steps toward feeling steadier in daily life.
How Tracy’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early connection styles shape current responses; it can help with intimacy, abandonment, and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracy will talk with each person about their goals, life circumstances, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what is working.
Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling. It can also let people use a quieter setting, shorter check-ins, or phone-only options when that better fits the day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work well in remote sessions, helping people make steady progress without needing to be on site.
