About Tracey

Tracey Van Dyke, LPC brings a cognitive behavioral framework to her therapeutic work, blending practical skills with collaborative, client-directed care.

Background and approach

With 11 years in the mental health field and experience providing therapy since 2013, she emphasizes strategies that help people manage symptoms, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop concrete coping tools. Tracey combines these approaches with solution-focused and mindfulness-informed practices to address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

She offers focused support for a wide range of life challenges including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting struggles, and workplace stress. Tracey also works with clients on anger management, co-dependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and communication problems, and other family-related difficulties.

Licensed in Georgia as an LPC (GA LPC LPC009967), she uses strength-based interventions and individualized plans to guide clients through transitions and recovery processes.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress; it is often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist fosters empathy and supports clients in exploring their own goals and values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and attachment-related patterns, helping people improve connection and process relational or intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined together. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques from these models to create an individualized plan that addresses symptoms, relationships, and life transitions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured CBT tools, client-centered exploration, and emotionally-focused interventions across distance while accommodating different communication styles and pacing.
