About Tracy
Tracy Kristalakis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 27 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting concerns, and career transitions. Tracy emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach that centers the client's experience.
She starts by listening and helping people name what matters most to them. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, and Tracy uses gentle guidance to build confidence and motivation. She leans on approaches that help people change patterns and try small experiments between meetings.
Tracy has long experience supporting people through grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She also addresses concerns tied to adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and issues around sexual trauma and assault. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, postpartum depression, panic attacks, and seasonal mood changes.
Her work often involves exploring family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, and relationship strain while helping clients set realistic steps forward. She frames challenges as solvable problems and helps people find practical coping tools. Expect straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way and what can change next.
Tracy encourages people to try therapy even when the first step feels hard. She will help you identify strengths you already have and plan achievable steps toward better sleep, calmer days, and clearer priorities.
How Tracy's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client's point of view and building on personal strengths. It helps when someone needs empathetic listening and guidance to identify goals and make choices that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps with anxiety, sleep issues, panic, and low mood by teaching practical strategies and small behavior changes that people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
