Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Tracey uses evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and early bonds; it helps people understand how past attachment experiences affect current relationships and emotional reactions, which can be useful for issues like intimacy, abandonment, and relationship conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace of work; this approach supports self-exploration and can be beneficial for concerns such as self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to manage symptoms and develop new coping skills, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Tracey works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt methods to fit individual needs and preferences, so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Tracey is offered by registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or another convenient location while maintaining an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
