About Tracey
Tracey Wisdom is an AASW social worker with seven years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety and major life changes. She offers calm, straightforward support and makes a plan with each person she sees.
Background and approach
Tracey writes simple goals so progress is easy to track. Tracey adapts conversations and techniques to fit each person's needs.
She uses client-centred approaches to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to address unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills that carry into daily life.
When trauma and painful memories come up, Tracey can integrate trauma-focused work and EMDR strategies as part of a thoughtful plan. She also uses practical, brief interventions from solution-focused therapy to help people move forward when they want quick, workable change.
Tracey has experience supporting people with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting and blended family issues, and the stresses of workplace life. She also works with matters such as grief after separation, adoption and foster care questions, and the emotional impacts of prejudice and discrimination.
Sessions are designed to be respectful and paced to each person's comfort. Tracey aims to build clear tools for managing emotion, sleeping problems, low self-esteem and the strain of caregiving or first responder work.
She helps set achievable steps so clients can notice small wins on the way to larger change.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Tracey commonly blends Gottman-informed ideas, client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. The Gottman Method offers practical ways to improve communication and manage conflict in close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful space where the client's priorities guide the work. CBT targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches step-by-step skills for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Tracey will work collaboratively to choose or mix methods based on your needs, goals and personal preference. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These flexible formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting or other life commitments.
