About Tracy

Tracy Foster is a licensed clinician who works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction concerns, and other mood-related challenges. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people build practical skills for managing symptoms, improving communication, and navigating life transitions.

Background and approach

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice emotional regulation, and increase present-moment awareness. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative work to support clients through change, loss, and identity questions.

This mix is applied with a trauma-aware, person-centered stance that emphasizes self-compassion and resilience. Licensed in Florida as an LMHC and in Maine as an LCPC, Tracy aims to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where adults can explore roots of distress and learn concrete coping strategies.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, grief, anger, ADHD, chronic illness, codependency, and substance-related challenges, guiding clients toward clearer goals and sustainable coping

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Tracy commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing actionable coping strategies, which can be especially useful for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-centered awareness and gentle acceptance practices that help reduce rumination and improve emotion regulation.

She also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; DBT offers concrete skills for distress tolerance and managing intense emotions. Determining which combination of these approaches fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to tailor techniques based on their goals, preferences, and lived experience rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow continuity of care across schedules and locations within the therapist's practice area, and they make it easier to use skills between sessions through brief check-ins or written exchanges.
