Tracie Gillispie, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Tracie

Tracie Gillispie is an LPC with 23 years of clinical work. She centers therapy on practical, calm conversations that help parents and adults find clearer ways forward. Sessions focus on what is working, what is stuck, and small steps people can try between appointments.

Tracie spends much of her practice supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She also helps with relationship struggles, grief, intimacy issues, and life changes.

Background and approach

Her approach mixes strategies and skills training with respectful listening so clients leave with tools they can use right away. She uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused thinking. Those approaches guide the work without overwhelming it; the emphasis stays on practical changes and stronger daily routines.

Tracie also draws on dialectical skills and a client-centered stance when emotion regulation or communication patterns become central. Tracie is licensed in Oklahoma as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). She speaks English and brings years of experience to each session.

Her style is steady and nonjudgmental, aiming to make therapy feel understandable and manageable for busy parents. In meeting a new client she listens first, then suggests a few simple goals. Sessions usually include clear takeaways, practice ideas, and follow-up between meetings when useful.

Her focus is to help people move from surviving toward more comfortable, reliable routines.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions instead. It teaches simple practices to accept difficult feelings while still moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current interactions; this can help with intimacy, communication, and parenting worries.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current struggles and goals, explain options, and try strategies together to see what fits best. That shared planning helps clients get tools they can actually use between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging are all used. These options make it easier to fit work into busy family schedules and to follow up quickly when practice questions arise. The emphasis is on practical help, steady support, and methods that transfer into everyday routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
