About Tracy
Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults and older adults facing life changes, loss, and the stress that comes with health and caregiving challenges. She emphasizes putting the client's needs first and creating room for them to be heard.
Tracy helps people who are coping with grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, chronic illness and pain, and the emotional impact of traumatic hospitalizations.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. Her background includes long-term work in health settings and counseling around medical and caregiving stress. Her approach is grounded in client-centered and attachment-based ideas.
Sessions focus on the client's strengths and personal history to make sense of current problems. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Tracy values honesty and straightforward feedback while keeping the conversation free of judgment.
She aims to work as a team with each person to set realistic goals and practical steps toward those goals. Progress often includes small, doable changes and new ways to cope with difficult emotions. Appointments can take place remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. She provides care in English for people located in California.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. Online sessions can use this lens to identify relational drivers of anxiety, grief, and caregiver stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. In remote sessions this means the therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s lead to set goals and pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, history, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that match those needs. That collaborative process can include mixing skills-based methods with exploration of personal history when it helps.
Online formats offer practical benefits for people juggling health care, work, and caregiving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is needed, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing other responsibilities.
