About Tracy
Tracy Foster is a licensed therapist who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the fallout from trauma and loss. She practices in Florida and brings eight years of face-to-face clinical experience to each session. Tracy focuses on simple, practical steps that make daily life easier to handle.
In sessions she listens for the stories people tell about themselves and their problems. Using Narrative Therapy, she helps people separate painful experiences from who they are.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to teach clear skills for mood and impulse control. Tracy emphasizes building self-compassion and clearer communication. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking habits and try small changes that add up.
For those facing grief, addiction, chronic illness, or relationship strain she works on steady, manageable goals. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She explains options, tries techniques together, and adjusts plans based on what actually helps.
Many clients use a mix of skills practice, brief behavioral experiments, and story work to move forward. Sessions may include practical coping strategies for panic, mood swings, and anger, plus attention to issues like codependency, dissociation, or compassion fatigue. Tracy aims to help people regain a clearer sense of choice and calmer daily routines.

Online session options
How narrative, CBT, and DBT work online
Tracy often combines Narrative Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy depending on what a person needs. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories someone tells about themselves and their struggles, then helps rewrite parts that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive acts, and improving relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try techniques together so you can see what feels helpful. Plans are adjusted over time based on your feedback, and the chosen methods aim to match your pace and preferences.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you talk face to face for in-depth work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is an issue, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or skills practice between sessions. These options give flexibility for different days and needs while still letting licensed professionals guide the process.
