About Tracey
Tracey York is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 37 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and related challenges common in young adulthood such as coping with life changes and intimacy-related issues.
She combines a generally directive approach with non-directive moments when clients need more space. Sessions often involve clear steps and practical tools. Tracey draws on methods like cognitive approaches, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address behavior, mood, and relationship patterns.
Her background includes long-term work with chemical use disorders, behavioral addictions, personality disorders, and sexual concerns including sexual abuse and sexual compulsivity. She has experience using exposure-based work for trauma reactions and years of practice with couples and family dynamics to improve communication and parenting challenges.
Tracey has spent much of her career supporting marginalized communities and continues to expand her understanding of religion, culture, and human drives to better relate to diverse clients. She aims to help people learn skills they can use after therapy ends, such as clearer boundaries, emotion regulation, and strategies for reducing risky behaviors.

How Tracey’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and supporting personal goals. It is useful when someone needs a space to sort out feelings and find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and behavioral changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions within relationships and can help people address attachment issues and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with one approach and introducing others as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time between work or school and appointments. The clinician will discuss how to structure sessions so they match practical needs like timing, frequency, and whether to use video or audio when those options are available.
