About Tracey

Tracey Nicole Waite is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of post-master's experience. She practices in Florida and brings a calm, approachable presence to sessions. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to help people feel heard and understood.

Tracey uses Narrative therapy alongside other practical approaches to help people make sense of difficult life events. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to support changes in thinking and relationships.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on identifying problems, noticing unhelpful patterns, and finding small steps that lead to relief. Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

Tracey has experience with end-of-life and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and first responder issues. Her work tends to be collaborative and strengths-based. Conversations aim to uncover values and practical options rather than only analyzing symptoms.

People who meet with her can expect a mixture of listening, gentle questioning, and action-oriented tasks between sessions. Tracey has worked across individual and group settings over her career.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT translate to online work

Tracey blends Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit well with remote sessions. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps reframe those stories to reduce shame and blame; it can help with grief, identity shifts, and relationship struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. Sessions are collaborative, so adjustments are made based on what helps you make progress and feel more capable day to day.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this practice. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or lower-intensity contact on busy days. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
