One common approach is skill building for stress and anxiety, which teaches breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another focus is relapse prevention and coping strategies for addictions, which looks at triggers, routines, and practical plans to manage cravings and maintain progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when that suits them. Speak with Tracy after the initial match to confirm how she offers sessions and which format will work best for your circumstances.
