About Tracy
Dr. Tracy Griffith is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and life changes. He focuses on LGBT-related issues and supports those coping with loss and transitions. He presents himself as a collaborative guide rather than an authority on someone else's story.
Dr. Griffith uses a strengths-based, person-centered style. He starts by listening closely to understand what matters most to each person. Conversations aim to build motivation for change and practical steps that feel doable in daily life.
He combines several approaches to suit a person’s needs, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered methods. Those tools are used to address habits, negative thoughts, and decisions that get in the way of well-being.
Tracy holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, abbreviated LCSW, and has five years of recorded clinical experience. He practices in Pennsylvania and accepts international clients who can work in English.
People who work with him can expect short-term goal setting alongside longer conversations about meaning and values. He aims to help people clarify priorities, reduce distress, and build routines that support lasting change.

Approaches that guide online conversations and change
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for things like reducing substance use or starting new routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, grief, and major life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online appointments can make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life changes and to maintain momentum between sessions. -
