Tracey Somers is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Nevada with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. Tracey also supports clients facing parenting challenges and concerns about self-esteem. She works in English and draws on clients' strengths to guide change.

Tracey believes people are the experts on their own lives. She listens for what matters most and helps clients find practical steps forward. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, doable changes that add up over time.

Her work includes attention to attachment patterns, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also addresses guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress when those issues come up. Pregnancy and childbirth concerns and women's issues are part of the range she supports.

Tracey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions, tailoring her approach to each person's needs. She aims to create a space where people can talk through difficult feelings and practice new ways of coping. The focus is on building skills that fit everyday life.

Clients typically find that short-term goals help make progress feel manageable. Tracey encourages collaboration on what to try between sessions. She supports people as they move toward clearer priorities and more sustainable coping.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Tracey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work in sessions. One approach focuses on building coping skills for stress and anxiety through practical exercises and behavior changes that can reduce daily overwhelm. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that helps people process painful memories and reduce symptoms associated with trauma and post-traumatic stress, using gradual steps and stabilization techniques.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracey will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their life, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. She encourages feedback so the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or days when typing fits better than talking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines.
