Tracy Flug , LCSW

Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience working in the health field. She primarily supports adults and seniors, bringing long-term clinical experience to complex situations involving loss, grief, and end-of-life concerns.

Her practice focuses on individuals who have faced traumatic hospitalizations, chronic illness, and the emotional and physical aftermath of trauma, including sexual trauma and PTSD. Tracy also addresses challenges related to stress, anxiety, caregiver burden, depression, sleep difficulties, self-esteem, and navigating major life changes.

Clinically, she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Grief Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. She emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered approach that prioritizes collaboration and practical strategies for coping and recovery.

Tracy aims to create a judgment-free space grounded in honesty, integrity, and transparency. She encourages prospective clients to reach out if it seems like a good fit, and to take that step toward prioritizing self-care and being seen and heard.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tracy Flug integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth - it is helpful for feelings of low self-worth, life transitions, and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach that explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related symptoms.

In practice, Tracy collaborates with clients to find the right mix of approaches for each situation. She views the selection of therapeutic methods as a shared process, adjusting strategies to fit a person’s goals, values, and preferences so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Tracy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for adults and seniors managing health issues, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations to access licensed professionals while maintaining continuity of care and progress toward their goals.
