About Traci

Dr. Traci Fraley brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her practice and is licensed as SC Psychologist 957 and OH Psychologist P.7369.

Background and approach

She has a long history of supporting people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, career challenges, and broader life transitions. Her background includes extended work with active duty soldiers, which helped shape her understanding of trauma-related concerns and post-traumatic stress.

Dr. Fraley approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and that existing strengths are central to recovery.

She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with trauma-focused and body-centered techniques such as EMDR and somatic therapy when appropriate. Practical scheduling notes from her practice include morning appointment availability and a current focus on short-term therapy needs to be completed by mid-December.

Video sessions are used for some trauma and anxiety work. Clients who choose Dr.

Fraley can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes skill-building and coping strategies tailored to individual goals. She practices from Ohio, provides services in English, and does not accept international clients.

Approaches for Online Trauma and Anxiety Work

Dr. Fraley often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, sleep issues, and stress. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma processing is needed; EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories through guided bilateral stimulation and therapeutic processing.

She also applies somatic-informed and trauma-focused techniques that attend to how stress and traumatic experiences show up in the body, offering ways to regulate physiological responses alongside psychological work. Choosing the right combination of methods is a collaborative process, and she works with clients to match interventions to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single approach up front.

Online therapy with Dr. Fraley is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy mornings or to continue working on short-term goals scheduled through mid-December, while maintaining a consistent therapeutic rhythm across contact styles.
