About Tracie
Tracie Gillispie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. Her style is grounded and direct, intended to help people make clear changes in everyday life.
She draws on a mix of practical therapies to help people handle emotions and tough events. Sessions often include strategies from cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking and skills from dialectical behavior work to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. Tracie aims to treat each person as the expert on their own life. She uses a client-centered stance that listens first and adapts work to a person’s goals.
Conversations are focused on clear next steps and tools that can be used between sessions. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and stress. That includes trauma and abuse, parenting and teen issues, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and sleep or eating struggles.
She is also experienced with attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, and blended family challenges. People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach. Tracie helps set practical goals, teaches coping skills, and supports clients as they try new ways of handling problems.
She works with adults in English and provides sessions through multiple online formats.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships that started early in life and helps people build healthier ways of connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, ongoing check-ins and written reminders of strategies discussed in sessions, which can help people practice skills between meetings.
