About Tracy
Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience in health-related therapy. She focuses on helping adults and seniors who are facing major stressors. Tracy emphasizes putting the client's needs first and creating space to be seen and heard.
Her approach is straightforward and team-oriented. She listens to what matters most and works with people to set clear, manageable goals. Tracy uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and other methods to address grief, trauma, chronic illness, and sleep-related struggles.
Sessions are aimed at identifying strengths and building on them. Tracy uses a client-centered stance that values honesty and direct feedback. She keeps things respectful and nonjudgmental while checking in about what is and isn't working.
Her background includes long experience in medical and health settings, so she is familiar with end-of-life concerns, traumatic hospitalizations, and caregiver strain. That experience informs how she supports someone navigating loss, chronic pain, or major life transitions.
Tracy often blends approaches such as attachment-focused work and narrative techniques to help people make sense of difficult experiences. She encourages practical steps that can ease daily routines, including sleep and self-care habits. To begin, she suggests completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see if the fit feels right.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Attachment-based work pays attention to relationships and how early bonds affect current patterns. It helps people notice connection styles and try different ways of relating to themselves and others. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what comes up, and supports the person in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep routines, and manage mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracy will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt methods so they fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide what feels most useful over time.
Please confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like worksheets and guided exercises between sessions to practice sleep habits and coping skills without changing daily routines.
