About Tracy
Tracy Clarke, LPC helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, and major life changes. She works with folks dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, grief, sleep or eating problems, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Tracy also supports people living with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and caregiver strain.
Tracy earned a master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania and has worked in mental health since 2016. She is in her final semester of a PhD program in counselor education and supervision at Waynesburg University.
Background and approach
Her license is LPC in Pennsylvania. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Tracy focuses on building a trusting relationship first.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with room for honest conversation about what is hard right now. She draws on several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. Common tools include cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based strategies to handle strong emotions.
Tracy also uses client-centered listening to keep the work focused on the person’s priorities. Tracy has over six years of clinical experience and more than a decade working alongside people with disabilities. That background informs how she adapts strategies for different abilities and communication styles.
She aims to help people manage anger and stress in ways that fit their daily lives. People who meet with Tracy can expect clear steps, regular check-ins on progress, and flexibility in how goals are pursued. She encourages questions and aims to make therapy feel manageable from the first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they want, which can help with anger, anxiety, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating issues, and problem-focused goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past efforts, and daily routines to choose or blend methods. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time if a different focus would help more.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking homework, or for people who communicate better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
