Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with loss, chronic illness, and the stress that comes with major health challenges. Tracy aims to create a space where people feel seen and heard while they take steps toward change.

Tracy typically works with adults and seniors who are dealing with grief, end-of-life concerns, and trauma related to medical experiences. She also supports people facing chronic pain, caregiver strain, and the emotional effects of serious illness. Her work emphasizes practical ways to manage anxiety, sleeping problems, and day-to-day stress.

Her approach is client-centered and strengths-based. That means she listens first, then helps people use their own resources to move forward. She describes her work as honest and straightforward, without judgment.

Tracy draws from several therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused work. In sessions she may combine techniques to address thoughts, emotions, and past patterns that affect current coping.

People can expect collaborative sessions that focus on real-world coping skills, processing loss, and improving routines like sleep and daily self-care. To begin, users are encouraged to use the site flow to match and schedule a session when it fits their needs.

How Tracy’s approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current emotions and trust. It can help people who feel stuck by old relational patterns and want clearer emotional connection with themselves and others.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people sort their priorities and make changes that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking, reduce anxiety, and improve behaviors like sleep and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and let people meet from a familiar setting. Depending on available session options, some formats may also let people choose shorter check-ins or avoid video when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking so the format fits everyday routines.
