Tracey Van Dyke, LPC

Tracey Van Dyke, LPC brings 11 years of clinical experience to her counseling work in Georgia. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people cope with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and life transitions. Tracey aims to make sessions practical and grounded so clients can try things between appointments and notice real change.

She favors approaches that help people talk through current problems and build new coping patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thought patterns and test small behavior changes. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, manageable goals for short-term progress.

Tracey also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. That approach centers the person’s goals and pace rather than following a rigid plan. For people processing trauma, she uses trauma-focused work to address distressing memories and their impact on daily life.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues around attachment and abandonment. She offers customized anger management programs for individuals and groups and supports people navigating divorce, blended family issues, or caregiving strain.

Tracey holds a Master’s degree and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. She works in English and practices from a strengths-based perspective, helping people find small, doable steps toward better routines and steadier emotions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s needs and pace. It involves listening carefully and reflecting what matters most to the client, which helps people feel understood and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and build new habits that fit daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current struggles, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when energy or time is limited. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio-only when they need less bandwidth or want a shorter session rhythm. Talk with the therapist about what will suit your schedule and day-to-day needs.
