About Tracy
Tracy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. Tracy focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. She speaks English and practices in Colorado.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people develop skills that reduce overwhelm. Sessions include talking through patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and setting manageable goals. Tracy uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-based approaches, and emotion-focused strategies.
She has worked across a range of concerns beyond anxiety, including depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and commitment and codependency issues.
Over nearly two decades she has combined several therapeutic influences to match what each person needs. That can mean using CBT techniques to change unhelpful thinking, ACT ideas to clarify values and take action, or EMDR-based procedures when trauma memories are central. Tracy aims to be clear about what she is trying in session and why.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In sessions a therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practices new ways of responding that reduce distress and increase functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when past events continue to affect current reactions. The work involves processing distressing memories in ways that reduce their emotional charge and make daily life easier to manage. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match a person’s goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to share preferences and to check progress as they go. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins around a work break or sessions that avoid travel time. It also allows therapists to use worksheets, in-session exercises, and real-time behavioral practice while you’re in your everyday setting.Areas of expertise
