Tracey Beaty, LPC, LCMHC

Tracey Beaty is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and focuses on building trust so clients feel heard and understood.

With 15 years of experience, she has worked with adults dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse. She also supports people managing mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder. Her background centers on practical work that addresses day-to-day challenges and emotional safety.

Tracey uses evidence-informed techniques and keeps therapy focused on the client’s goals. She relies on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox to help people find their own reasons for change.

Sessions are guided by respect and collaboration. She aims to create a steady space where someone can talk through painful memories, learn new patterns, and take small steps toward stability. Conversations are direct and grounded in everyday language so people can use what they learn between meetings.

Clients who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and sessions vary by location and availability.

Approaches and how online therapy fits

Tracey uses Client-Centered Therapy to make the client’s perspective central. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says, and letting the person lead toward insights and goals. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk about painful events.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It involves setting concrete goals, trying small changes between sessions, and tracking what works. This approach often helps with depression, bipolar mood management, and anxiety linked to trauma.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method that helps people find their own motivation to make changes. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify priorities and next steps when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to see which formats are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life, such as taking breaks during a workday or avoiding travel time. It can also allow a graded approach to sharing difficult material, like starting with shorter check-ins before longer sessions.
