   About Traci

   Traci Klasing, MA, LPC, LCMHC offers a warm, collaborative approach to counseling. She focuses on helping people set practical goals and take steady steps forward. Traci listens carefully and works alongside each person to identify strengths and build new skills.

   She draws on nearly two decades of experience in mental health and education. That background includes teaching psychology courses both online and in person for more than twenty years. This has given her a solid grasp of counseling processes and what helps people make lasting changes.

She also helps with relationship and communication problems, intimacy-related issues, anger, and self-esteem. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and ADHD-related struggles.

   Her counseling style is collaborative and goal oriented. She uses client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing to help people clarify values and move toward their goals. Traci also brings career counseling experience, having coordinated university career services and assisted students with job searches and internships.

She accepts international clients and is experienced with virtual work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

2. Therapeutic approaches and online care

   Traci uses motivational interviewing to help people resolve mixed feelings and find internal motivation for change. That approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and helping people strengthen their own reasons for moving forward.
   
   She also practices client-centered therapy, which prioritizes understanding each person's perspective and working at the person's own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is part of her toolbox too, offering concrete skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals, values, and daily life. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs change.
