About Tracy

Tracy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, and addictions. Tracy also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on clear goals, concrete skills, and honest conversation rather than jargon.

Clients can expect short-term strategies and longer work when needed. Tracy pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new behaviors. She talks through emotions, thought patterns, and everyday choices that affect mood and relationships.

Tracy also works with issues that often come with complex histories, such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body image. She addresses difficult subjects directly and helps people practice different ways of responding to hard situations.

If someone is new to therapy, Tracy offers a straightforward onboarding process. People start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Tracy uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It uses practical exercises and values-based goals to help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood problems, and unhelpful thinking patterns through practice and homework.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of painful reactions. It can be helpful for people who carry trauma-related symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will discuss these methods with clients and decide together which fits best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as needed.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into school, early careers, or busy schedules because sessions can be easier to schedule and require no commute. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or more flexible timing to match a student's or new professional's routine.
