Tracy Ferezan, LPC

Tracy Ferezan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and self-esteem difficulties. She is a queer ally and brings a compassionate, direct style to therapy. Tracy centers practical steps so clients can feel more capable day to day.

She believes people can adapt and grow, a theme she often links to a dragonfly symbol she wears. That image reflects her focus on small, steady change rather than instant fixes. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and barriers, and work on skills they can use between sessions.

Tracy’s background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in clinical psychology. Her work history spans community behavioral health, private practice, residential services, and intensive outpatient programs. This variety informs a flexible approach to common problems like addiction and trauma.

In sessions she draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those approaches are used to build coping skills, motivate change, and address painful memories at a sustainable pace.

Her experience also includes advocacy that began in her youth, and she often brings that perspective when supporting people confronting discrimination or identity-based stress. She lives in Louisiana and uses practical strategies to help people take one step at a time toward a healthier tomorrow.

How these approaches work online and in practice

Tracy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people make concrete changes. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and boosts their own reasons for change, which can be helpful for addictions and stopping smoking.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracy will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and life demands and suggest techniques that match those needs. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can offer the same step-by-step skills training and goal-focused conversations over distance when that format fits a person’s schedule and needs.
