Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults and seniors who are managing loss, medical trauma, chronic illness, and other major life stresses. Tracy emphasizes self-care and invites people to make their needs a priority.

Tracy works with people facing grief, end-of-life concerns, and the emotional fallout from difficult hospitalizations. She also supports those coping with trauma, PTSD, and long-term health challenges. Her background includes work in health-related settings where these issues are common.

Her style is straightforward and strengths-based. Tracy creates a judgment-free space and listens with honesty and respect. She helps clients identify what matters to them and builds on existing strengths to set practical goals.

Therapy sessions typically use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-informed ideas, narrative work, and psychodynamic perspectives.

She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused techniques to shape each person’s plan.

Tracy encourages people who are feeling overwhelmed to reach out and see if the fit feels right. She highlights teamwork between therapist and client and invites people to be seen and heard as they work toward clearer coping and steadier days.

How Tracy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Informed work looks at how early relationships shape current needs. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and improve trust and emotional safety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people lead the direction of sessions. It can be useful for building self-worth and finding practical ways to cope.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets people continue care when medical issues or caregiving duties make leaving home difficult. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like CBT and narrative work to work well in remote sessions, focusing on practical steps and clear takeaways you can use between meetings.
