About Tracie
Tracie Florida is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns and supports children, teens, and their caregivers through stressful and emotional times. Her style is calm and practical, aiming to help families find clearer ways to cope and communicate.
She has worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, crisis response teams, and mental health programs. That varied background means she understands both emotional needs and medical challenges that can affect families.
Background and approach
She draws on hands-on experience from these settings to tailor help to each situation. Tracie uses proven tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed techniques. These approaches are used in simple, practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage difficult behaviors, and address mood concerns.
Sessions emphasize empathy and step-by-step skill building. Parents and caregivers can expect a collaborative process. Tracie aims to create a space where young people feel heard and families can work toward clearer routines and safer interactions.
She supports both short-term problem solving and longer term growth. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled to fit different family rhythms. Tracie works with young people, families, and caregivers to address stress, depression, addiction-related concerns, self-esteem, and related issues.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care for Families
Tracie draws mainly from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps families notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practices small changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. DBT-informed skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when tensions run high.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tracie collaborates with each family to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. She adjusts exercises and pacing based on what works for the child or caregiver in real time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible. These formats let families connect from home, fit sessions around school and work, and use messaging for quick check-ins or skill practice between meetings. The range of options supports flexible, ongoing work for busy families.
