Tracy Ferezan

Tracy Ferezan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and questions about gender and sexuality. She is especially attuned to body image worries, self-esteem struggles, and the pressures caregivers often carry. Tracy is a queer ally who brings advocacy and direct support to conversations about identity and discrimination.

She uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. Tracy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to build commitment to change, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past harm in manageable steps.

Tracy trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in clinical psychology. She has seven years of clinical experience across community behavioral health, private practice, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Her background includes work with addiction and recovery settings as well as trauma-focused services.

Having grown up in a military family and lived in multiple states and countries, Tracy understands frequent change and cultural transitions. She now lives in Louisiana and brings that life experience into her work while helping people adapt and build new coping skills.

In sessions she aims to move at a steady, practical pace. Tracy focuses on clear goals, small steps, and techniques people can use between meetings. Many clients hear her talk about resilience and adaptability, symbolized by the dragonfly she often wears.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Tracy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, then test small changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, body image, and many everyday struggles. Motivational Interviewing is another method she uses; it focuses on building a person's own reasons and readiness to change, which can help with addictions and habits like smoking or vaping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fewer travel demands, which can help people fit sessions into work or family routines. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach coping skills, guide exposure exercises from home, run focused check-ins, and support steps in recovery while keeping work doable around daily life.
