About Tracy
Tracy Grothe is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, career concerns, and major life changes. She draws on 25 years of experience to support people dealing with depression, anger, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and problems with sleep and eating. Tracy speaks plainly and focuses on practical next steps that people can try between sessions.
Tracy believes each person knows their own story best. She works in a collaborative, respectful way and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often include goal-setting and small experiments to try new habits or ways of thinking.
Her background includes long experience helping people navigate caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and the strains that come with aging or cancer. She also supports people wrestling with attachment wounds, abandonment, guilt, and isolation. Tracy brings steady, problem-focused help for those coping with first responder stress, divorce, and communication breakdowns.
In counseling she uses a mix of client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That combination is aimed at identifying patterns, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and finding realistic steps forward. Tracy is licensed in Nebraska as LMHC and LIMHP.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. People who want clear goals, practical tools, and time to reflect often find this style useful. If you want help improving sleep, managing grief, or sorting career and relationship choices, she can help you find a path forward.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and putting the client's goals first, helping people feel heard and understood while they set their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like sleep trouble, anxiety, or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, by removing commute time and allowing sessions to happen from wherever the client is located. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler to schedule around work or caregiving duties. Confirm the available session formats before booking so arrangements match your routine and technical setup.
