    About Tracy

    Tracy Ferezan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable. Tracy centers each session on practical steps and realistic goals to help people move forward.

    Tracy believes people can change and adapt. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented, while Trauma-Focused Therapy guides work with difficult memories and their effects.

    Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in clinical psychology. Tracy has seven years of clinical experience across community behavioral health, private practice, residential services, and intensive outpatient programs. She has lived in many places while growing up in a military family and now lives in New Orleans, Louisiana.

    Tracy is a longtime advocate for LGBT people and brings that commitment into her work. She also has experience with addiction and recovery settings and with supporting people after traumatic events. In session she tends to be direct and compassionate, helping people set small, achievable steps.

    Many clients notice her dragonfly necklace. For her, it is a reminder of adaptability and hope. She works with each person at a pace that feels doable, focusing on one step at a time.

  2. How Tracy blends approaches for online work

    Tracy commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people identify their own reasons to change and to build momentum for healthier choices. This approach focuses on listening, reflective questions, and helping people discover motivation within themselves.

    She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then uses practical exercises to shift patterns that cause distress. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to keep conversations centered on goals and small, achievable steps toward those goals.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose methods together in a collaborative way. This helps ensure the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

    If you plan to meet online, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or travel, and they can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings simpler to fit into a busy life. Licensed professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on motivation, practical skill work from CBT, or goal-driven solution work depending on what a person wants to accomplish.
