About Traci

Dr. Traci Fraley is a licensed psychologist in Ohio who brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work. She emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths to address stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and career concerns. She recognizes that taking the first step into therapy takes courage and aims to make that step manageable for people seeking help.

Dr. Fraley's background includes extended work with active duty soldiers, and she has focused on trauma, post-traumatic stress, and issues faced by first responders and veterans. That experience informs how she approaches traumatic stress, somatization, and mood concerns. She uses practical methods to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines.

Her clinical approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Somatic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to address anxiety, sleep disturbance, and reactions to difficult events. When trauma or anxiety work is involved, she indicates that some video sessions will be used.

Appointments are available in the mornings and sessions are intended to be time-limited when that fits the person’s goals. Fees vary with location and scheduling and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Dr. Fraley offers services in English and does not accept international clients.

To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Fraley uses several evidence-informed methods that can be adapted for remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes; it is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; it is commonly applied for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Somatic Therapy pays attention to body sensations and movement to help release stress held in the body and to improve regulation after hard experiences.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of the concerns to decide which methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as work progresses so clients can see what feels most helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day, which can help maintain consistent care. The biography notes that some video sessions will be used when working on trauma or anxiety, so confirm current session options before booking. Ask about morning appointment times if those fit your routine, and expect sessions framed around the therapeutic goals identified during the intake process.
