About Tracy
Tracy Rider is a New York licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She offers steady, respectful support and works with each person to build goals that fit their situation. Tracy writes in a calm, direct way and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Her work brings together relationship-focused tools and trauma-informed methods. She draws on the Gottman Method alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative approaches to strengthen communication, reduce reactive patterns, and reframe painful memories.
Background and approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is also part of her toolkit for processing traumatic material. Tracy keeps sessions tailored and straightforward. She helps clients notice patterns, practice new responses, and set reachable tasks.
Conversations aim to turn insight into small changes that make daily life easier. Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and ten years of professional experience. Earlier roles included volunteer counseling with the United States Army and pastoral counseling contexts, which shaped how she listens and supports people under stress.
Tracy balances clinical work with life experience from long-term marriage, parenting, and living with chronic illness. That blend of professional training and lived experience informs a practical, empathetic style that centers clients’ strengths and choices.

Online support
How Tracy’s approaches translate to online care
Gottman Method work focuses on improving communication and reducing harmful interaction patterns. Online sessions can be used to practice conversations, learn skill-based exercises, and build new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In digital sessions clients and therapist collaborate on homework and test new coping strategies between meetings. EMDR helps people process traumatic memories by using guided bilateral stimulation while talking through the memory; online EMDR sessions follow a paced protocol to address trauma symptoms safely and gradually.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, past treatment, and personal preferences, then recommend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and practicing skills. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, reflection, or keeping momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on meaningful change.
