Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tracy directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approach-driven care you can access remotely
Tracy often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps find new, more helpful ways to understand those stories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking small actions that matter, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tracy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then shape a plan that combines listening with specific techniques. That collaboration helps make sessions feel relevant and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions can be lower tech and easier during a busy day, and messaging or chat works for shorter check-ins or ongoing prompts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
