About Tracey
Tracey Bratton is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 12 years of clinical experience and a long background in nursing. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, ADHD, and guilt and shame.
Tracey uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes clients' strengths and responds to trauma. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-focused work, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions are guided by the client's goals and pacing.
She also integrates caregiver and gerontology perspectives when relevant, reflecting her nursing experience and additional training in trauma-informed care. That background informs practical supports for people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns.
Faith-based reflection is available when clients want it. Scripture reflection or values-anchored grounding is offered only at the client's request and is never assumed.
Tracey describes the work as collaborative and steady. She focuses on helping people rebuild balance, recognize strengths, and manage everyday demands alongside deeper emotional work.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and making small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when guilt or shame interfere with daily choices and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. This approach is practical for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping skills that get in the way of daily life.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships. It can be useful for people dealing with family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, blended family stress, or caregiving relationships. Tracey approaches choosing methods collaboratively. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which approaches to use and when to adjust them. That conversation is part of the early sessions and ongoing care.
Confirm session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or caregiving schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with her about what will fit into your everyday life and routines before scheduling.
