About Traci

Traci Klasing is a licensed counselor who blends practical strategies with a warm, collaborative style. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and uses straightforward goal-setting to help people make steady progress. Sessions are focused on clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Traci draws on 18 years of professional experience to guide those facing common life stressors. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, stress, parenting concerns, career questions, grief, and changes in life circumstances.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Traci uses approaches that help clients test new ways of thinking and behaving while keeping the client’s own priorities central. Before moving into independent practice, she spent many years in higher education directing career services and teaching psychology both online and in person.

That background gives her a solid grasp of career planning and job search skills, plus experience supervising other counselors. She has also provided in-home therapy and conducted neuropsychological assessments earlier in her career. Traci is licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri - LPC - and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina - LCMHC.

She works in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients and is comfortable offering counseling in virtual formats. Her style is collaborative and practical.

She and the client set goals together, then track progress in ways that feel manageable. Traci emphasizes clear communication and simple tools clients can use day to day.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and involved in setting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal motivation to make changes and works well when someone feels unsure about a next step.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which method or mix of methods matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so care stays practical and relevant.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options provide flexibility and help people maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
