    About Tracey

    Tracey Beaty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She supports adults facing depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to build trust early in the work together.

    With 15 years of experience, she brings focused care for mood disorders and trauma-related concerns. She has worked with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse. Seasonal Affective Disorder and other mood-related patterns are also within her focus.

    Her practice draws on client-centered principles that place the person’s goals first. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice and shift thinking and behavior patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to help people find and strengthen their reasons for change.

    Sessions concentrate on practical steps and honest conversation. Tracey aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through worries, recognize patterns, and try new ways of coping. She helps people set small, doable goals and track progress over time.

    People who come to see her can expect straightforward feedback and gentle challenge when needed. Her overall focus is to support clearer thinking, steadier mood, and improved daily functioning through collaborative work.

  2. How these approaches guide online therapy

    Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and placing the person's goals first. It helps people feel heard and shapes the pace and focus of sessions around what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying practical experiments to change them; it is often used for depression, mood disorders, and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people explore and strengthen their reasons for making changes, which can be useful when motivation feels low or unclear.

    Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will suggest methods and adjust them based on the client's needs. This is a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide decisions about focus and techniques.

    Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow follow-ups between in-person visits when needed. It also lets people move at a pace that suits them while using motivational and CBT tools to practice changes in everyday life.
