How Tracy's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, making it useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to improve mood and coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit. That might mean using ACT exercises one week and CBT-style planning the next, always adjusting to what helps most.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins if that suits a schedule. It can also let people take part when they are living in a different country, since international clients are accepted. If you want to explore how remote sessions could work for you, mention timing and any practical needs when you complete the questionnaire and schedule your first appointment.
