About Tracie

Tracie Stewart is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and emotional challenges. She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help clients make small changes that add up. Her approach aims to build everyday coping skills and improve overall wellbeing.

She holds licenses as an LPC and an LMHC. Tracie has nine years of professional experience offering psychotherapy in Wisconsin. She values a whole-person view of health and helps clients connect emotions, behaviors, and daily routines.

Background and approach

In sessions she explains tools plainly and practices them together with clients. Expect clear steps, homework you can try between meetings, and attention to what works in real life. She draws on techniques that teach new ways to respond to stress, mood problems, and relationship strains.

Tracie often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change patterns of thinking and behavior. She also brings mindfulness practices to help people notice their reactions without getting swept away. For clients who struggle with strong emotions, she incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She helps clients set concrete goals and tracks progress along the way. Parents looking for guidance on family and parenting topics can expect straightforward communication and tools they can use at home.

Practical therapy approaches for online support

Tracie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small, manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication in tense moments. DBT skills can help when feelings feel overwhelming and relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and pick strategies that fit. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted based on what helps in daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more reachable. These formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules and practice skills between meetings. They also allow continued contact when in-person meetings are difficult, while keeping the focus on real-world tools and steady progress.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
