About Tracy

Tracy Russell is a licensed mental health practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 13 years of clinical experience. She centers her work on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused strategies while maintaining a warm, conversational style that many clients find approachable.

Background and approach

Tracy draws on a background in elementary education to engage with clients across age ranges and to help them learn practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and parenting challenges. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and realistic goal-setting, starting with small achievable steps that build toward longer-term progress if the client chooses.

Tracy often helps parents and caregivers navigate difficult behaviors and trauma-related concerns in children and adolescents, and she looks for patterns and triggers that can inform treatment. Known for patience, compassion, and straightforward feedback, she aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be discussed without judgment.

Tracy frames her role as a guide who supports clients doing the hard work of change. She encourages honesty about what strategies will or will not be tried, adjusts plans accordingly, and helps clients translate therapeutic gains into everyday life.

Bringing evidence-informed approaches to online therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and related mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to process past harm and build coping skills to manage triggers and post-traumatic stress responses in a paced, supportive manner. These methods are paired with client-centered listening to ensure that each person's experience guides the work and that interventions are relevant to their life circumstances.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify priorities, try strategies that fit their preferences, and adjust methods over time so treatment aligns with goals and comfort level. Clients are encouraged to be honest about what feels helpful so plans can be tailored effectively.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. This range of formats can make it easier to access consistent care, continue work between sessions, and use approaches like CBT and trauma-focused techniques in ways that suit a client's daily life.
