About Tracy
Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience. She works mainly with adults and seniors on health-related concerns including grief, chronic illness, traumatic hospitalizations, and end-of-life issues. Tracy also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep and self-esteem.
Tracy uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on what is happening now and how a person copes day to day. Sessions often include talking through recent struggles, looking at patterns that keep problems going, and trying small changes to see if they help.
Her background is in health care settings, which shapes how she approaches loss and serious illness. That experience informs conversations about caregiving issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and chronic pain or medical trauma. She also works with people who face attachment or abandonment worries and those coping with guilt, shame, or compassion fatigue.
Tracy draws on several therapy approaches to guide work together. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches help explore relationship patterns and personal strengths. Narrative and Psychodynamic ideas can be used to understand life stories and recurring themes.
She asks clients to be active in planning sessions and in trying changes between meetings. Getting started involves a brief matching process and scheduling a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in California.
How Tracy’s approaches work in online sessions
Tracy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or sleep troubles. CBT focuses on practical steps and experiments that can change daily routines and reactions.She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches. Attachment work looks at relationship patterns that affect how someone responds to stress or loss. Client-Centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person’s priorities and strengths, letting the client guide what matters most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracy will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process may mean combining strategies or adjusting pace based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoiding camera use when that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person for remote sessions so people can keep progress moving forward without major disruption.
