Tracie Gillispie is licensed to practice in Oklahoma and is able to provide counseling in many other states, bringing 20 years of professional work experience to her clients. She combines practical training with a compassionate approach to help people navigate stress, relationships, parenting challenges, and the aftermath of trauma.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - which denotes state licensure to provide professional counseling. She also holds a post-Master's Certification in School Psychology, a credential that reflects additional training in school-related psychological services, and she is a National Board Certified Counselor, a national certification that recognizes advanced competency in the counseling field.

Tracie has extensive experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and teen and parenting concerns, and she describes these as the areas she most enjoys working in. She operates from a belief that clients are the experts of their own stories and that individuals already possess strengths that can guide healing and growth. Her role is to offer direction without judgment, helping clients discover paths toward a more fulfilling life. Seeking change takes courage, and she aims to support and empower people at each step of that journey.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Counseling

Tracie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and aims to strengthen security and communication in relationships, making it a good fit for intimacy, family, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their own goals at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to determine which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while pursuing meaningful change.
