About Traci
Dr. Traci Fraley is a licensed psychologist practicing in Ohio with more than two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, and career-related challenges.
Her style emphasizes practical steps and respect for each person's strengths. She aims to make starting therapy feel doable and supportive for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. She values a collaborative approach and treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life.
Background and approach
Conversations often begin with clear goals and small, achievable steps. When trauma or anxiety are central, she uses techniques that include both body-focused and evidence-based cognitive methods. Her experience includes working with active duty soldiers overseas for a decade, which informs her understanding of first responder and veteran-related concerns.
Over 22 years she has worked with people facing life transitions, midlife shifts, and responses to natural or human-caused disasters. That background shapes how she notices stress patterns and sleep disruption in daily life. Sessions can involve talking, learning new coping skills, and practicing strategies between appointments.
Some work addresses physical sensations and tension as part of healing. For trauma-focused work she sometimes includes guided processing techniques alongside movement and grounding exercises. Dr.
Fraley offers morning appointments and uses a mix of session formats when appropriate. She encourages people to take the first step and complete the short questionnaire to begin scheduling.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Fraley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside somatic techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories through guided attention and bilateral stimulation, and it can be adapted for remote work. Somatic Therapy pays attention to body sensations and nervous system responses, teaching ways to reduce tension and self-soothe during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress and comfort guide the work.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face work and movement-based exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or follow-up between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue care across different settings.
