About Tracy

Tracy Flug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 23 years of clinical experience in health-related mental health care.

Background and approach

She draws on long experience supporting people through loss, grief, end-of-life concerns, traumatic hospital stays, chronic illness, and trauma-related conditions, bringing a practical, strengths-based orientation to each engagement. Her LCSW credential indicates advanced training in clinical social work and a sustained commitment to working with complex health and emotional challenges.

Tracy emphasizes a client-centered, collaborative relationship where the person’s goals and preferences guide the work. Her approach blends evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with narrative and psychodynamic perspectives to help people process painful experiences, reframe unhelpful patterns, and build coping strategies.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental space marked by honesty and clear guidance so clients feel heard and understood. Tracy lists ADHD among her areas of focus alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Interested individuals are invited to reach out to explore fit and availability so they can begin a tailored plan for change.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care



Tracy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping strategies. She also employs Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and relationships, which can help with attachment concerns, grief, and relational stress. Both methods are adapted to online formats so clients can work on practical skills and understanding patterns from wherever they are.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Tracy works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may blend techniques from different approaches to best suit the situation. The emphasis is on building a treatment plan together rather than applying a single method in isolation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or health issues arise, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for ongoing work.
