About Tracy
Tracy Clarke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, relationship struggles, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges around identity and career transitions.
Tracy trained at California University of Pennsylvania and is finishing a PhD in counselor education and supervision at Waynesburg University. She often combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches with acceptance-based ideas. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step skills that can be used between meetings.
Her work includes a strong emphasis on addiction-related issues and supporting people who live with autism or intellectual disabilities, drawing on more than a decade of experience in those areas. She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and coping with life changes.
Tracy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In practice this looks like identifying patterns, practicing coping skills, and building better ways to handle difficult emotions and relationships.
She aims to form a straightforward, professional relationship where trust guides the work. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire, pick a time, and schedule a first session through the service's matching and booking process.
How Tracy uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it often helps with stress, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current trust and connection issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they can try different techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to work with licensed professionals from different locations. Talk with Tracy through the initial matching steps to confirm how you will meet and to organize times that fit study, work, or other commitments.
