About Tracy

Tracy Clarke is an LPC based in Pennsylvania who brings six years of clinical experience to work with people confronting stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, making use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and attachment-informed techniques. Her background includes substantial work with addiction concerns and experience supporting people with autism and intellectual disabilities.

Clarke emphasizes collaboration and a strong therapeutic alliance, focusing on practical skills and insight to address symptoms and life challenges. She blends client-centered principles with structured behavioral strategies to help clients develop coping tools, improve communication, and manage emotion regulation.

Sessions are shaped by the client’s goals and preferences, and she adapts methods such as DBT-informed skills and ACT strategies when helpful. Available to English-speaking and international clients, Tracy practices using multiple online formats to increase access and flexibility.

Her Pennsylvania LPC credential (PA LPC PC013396) is part of her professional profile and informs the clinical framework she offers during sessions.

Practical approaches and online care

Tracy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and certain addiction-related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and developing psychological flexibility through mindfulness and acceptance strategies, supporting clients facing chronic stress, grief, or life transitions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting techniques over time so treatment stays aligned with the client’s needs and progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for scheduling that suits work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and make consistent care more accessible across distances. Licensed professionals can use these options to combine structured skill-building with conversational support, helping clients practice new strategies in daily life.
