About Traci

Traci Klasing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and motivational interviewing techniques to help people manage everyday challenges.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience and a long career teaching psychology, she blends practical therapy skills with a strong grasp of counseling theory. Traci emphasizes a collaborative process that invites clients to set meaningful goals and build skills to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, career transitions, grief, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related worries.

Her background includes roles in career development where she supported students and alumni through job searches, internships, and employment planning, plus experience administering neuropsychological assessments and providing in-home psychotherapy. Traci has also supervised counselors through licensure and taught psychology courses both online and in person, giving her particular comfort with virtual formats.

Licensed in North Carolina and holding prior licensure in Missouri, she works with clients to strengthen coping, communication, intimacy, and decision-making so they can move forward with confidence.

How Traci's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Traci uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for changing patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy informs her stance of empathy and collaboration, offering a nonjudgmental space where clients' goals and values guide the work. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels uncertain or stalled, helping people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats finding a good fit as a collaborative effort, adapting methods and pacing so the work feels useful and manageable over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and integrate new skills into daily life.
