Dr. Traci Fraley is a licensed psychologist practicing in Ohio. She holds credentials as SC Psychologist 957 and OH Psychologist P.7369 and brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work. She encourages people to take the first step toward getting help and acknowledges how difficult that can feel.

Dr. Fraley focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Her background includes long-term work with active duty soldiers, and she also supports people dealing with disasters, first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and somatization. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and views clients as the experts in their own stories.

Her approach blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Somatic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions can include talk-based work and body-focused strategies to help manage symptoms and reduce distress. For trauma or anxiety work, some video sessions may be used.

Dr. Fraley offers morning appointments and focuses on short-term therapy that can be completed by mid-December for those seeking time-limited care. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule according to therapist availability. She aims to collaborate with each person to set clear, realistic goals.

She strives to make sessions practical and understandable. The work is paced to each person's needs, with attention to managing symptoms and building coping skills over time.

How trauma-focused methods translate to online work

Dr. Fraley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. CBT often focuses on practical steps and short experiments to change day-to-day reactions.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories; EMDR typically involves recalling a memory while the therapist guides attention in a structured way to reduce emotional intensity. Somatic Therapy is part of her approach too and pays attention to body sensations and breathing to help regulate stress.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT, EMDR, somatic techniques, or a mix makes the most sense for the goals at hand. Choices are based on symptoms, comfort, and what the client wants to accomplish.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and access to therapy from different locations. For trauma or anxiety work, some video sessions may be used, and the therapist will explain what to expect during those meetings.
