About Tracey

Tracey Nolen is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage family conflict, grief and loss, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, motivation, and related concerns including anger and stress.

She works from the view that clients are the experts on their own lives. That means sessions center on what matters to the person sitting across from her. Tracey listens for strengths and practical options, then offers ways to build on what already works.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take action that fits those values. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are also available when helpful.

In sessions she focuses on concrete skills - ways to calm down, communicate without escalating, and rebuild trust after a fight. She also helps with grief responses, parenting decisions, and coping with big life changes in day-to-day terms.

People who want straightforward conversation about behavior and feelings often find this style useful. Tracey aims to offer clear steps and realistic practices to try between sessions. To begin, she asks clients to share what they want to change and what has helped them so far.

How sessions work

How her therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions can help people notice patterns that fuel anger and try small behavior changes that reflect their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Delivered remotely, CBT often uses short exercises and between-session practice to reduce reactive thinking and change responses to triggers.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s needs, whether the focus is impulse control, relationship repair, or stress management.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support learning skills at home. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach breathing and grounding exercises, walk through communication scripts, and assign short practices to try between meetings.
