Tracie Gillispie , LPC

Tracie Gillispie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She works with adults facing mood challenges, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and major life changes. Her style centers on listening first and helping people find what works for them.

She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, trust, and intimacy. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered methods provide tools for emotion regulation and for building on existing strengths.

Tracie draws on more than two decades of practice in Oklahoma to adapt strategies to each person’s needs. She helps people untangle codependency, communication problems, and blended family tensions. She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, and attachment difficulties.

Sessions cover concrete skills and practical steps, like managing sleep routines, improving eating patterns, reducing anxiety, and making decisions during life transitions. Tracie encourages small, doable changes that fit each person’s life and goals.

People who prefer conversational, respectful sessions can expect a calm voice, clear structure, and focus on what matters most to them. Tracie offers therapy in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical tools

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which often helps with depression, sleep problems, and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family stress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing coaching, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep steady support during transitions.
