Tracie Diamond, LPC, LMHC

Tracie Diamond is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices in Iowa and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship challenges, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and anger.

Her background includes practice in several states and settings alongside work with service members and veterans. That experience informs how she talks about transitions, combat-related stress, and the strain that comes with major life changes. Tracie uses straightforward language and direct skills-building in sessions.

In therapy she focuses on clear strategies people can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness.

Sessions are aimed at practical problem solving, reducing reactivity, and improving day-to-day coping. For people struggling with substance use or addictive behaviors she combines motivational interviewing approaches to support readiness for change. Conversations include goal-setting and small, achievable steps.

Her approach is matter-of-fact and person-centered. She helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and check progress. If someone wants to work on anger, the focus is on managing triggers, calming strategies, and rebuilding strained relationships.
