Tracey Byram, LPC

Tracey Byram is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma, addictions, and many life changes. Tracey also supports those dealing with relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions often mix practical skills with space to process feelings. She uses everyday language and aims to make therapy understandable and useful.

Tracey draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies help people build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Client-centered and attachment-based ideas guide a warm, respectful therapeutic relationship.

She has a long history working with LGBT clients and with young people across childhood and adolescence. Her work has included helping people with autism spectrum concerns, adoption and attachment issues, and complex medical or caregiving stress. Tracey has also incorporated animal-assisted work into practice in the past and values practical tools alongside emotional processing.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading, hiking, yard projects, thrifting, and beach visits. She describes therapy as a shared journey and emphasizes collaboration, steady support, and realistic steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and many everyday struggles.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These tools help with strong mood swings, anger, and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between meetings so practice continues outside sessions.
