About Tracy
Tracy Tippett is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). He brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on relationships, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, stress, and gender identity questions. His approach is straightforward and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and move toward clearer choices.
He uses practical methods that help people notice what matters to them and try different ways to respond.
Background and approach
That can mean building skills to manage worry, working through past events that still cause pain, or improving how partners talk about hard topics. Tracy often draws on the Gottman Method when relationships are the focus, alongside cognitive and acceptance-based tools. Tracy has worked across community mental health, group settings, independent practice, and federal consulting.
That range gives him experience with many kinds of stresses and life stages. He says therapy takes courage and aims to offer steady support through the process. Sessions include a mix of direct feedback and collaborative planning.
Tracy describes his style as semi-casual and candid, which he uses to build trust quickly. He also welcomes people who identify as neurodivergent as well as those who consider themselves neurotypical. People come for concerns like anxiety, relationship strain, identity questions, and attention challenges.
Tracy helps people talk through what feels stuck, practice new ways of responding, and plan small steps that fit their life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Tracy uses the Gottman Method to help partners improve communication and reduce repeating patterns that cause distance. That approach focuses on practical skills for conversations and understanding interactions between partners.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take small actions toward them even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracy will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Together they review what works and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing notes, or when someone needs flexibility to fit therapy into a busy day.
