About Tracey

Tracey Nicole Waite is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 22 years of experience since completing her master's degree. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also addresses sleep problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes related to caregiving and illness.

Tracey has worked across age groups and settings, including individual, couples, family, and group care. That variety has shaped a practical style that focuses on what helps in day-to-day life. Sessions tend to be interactive and aim to reduce symptoms while improving coping and functioning.

Her approach blends methods that emphasize thoughts, feelings, and values. Cognitive behavioral ideas help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying values and taking purposeful action even when emotions are difficult.

Attachment-based perspectives are used when relationship patterns and early loss affect current functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are included when emotion regulation and impulse control are central concerns. Client-centered elements keep the work focused on the person's own goals and pace.

Tracey has particular experience with grief and perinatal or infant loss, end-of-life and hospice-related issues, sexual trauma, PTSD, and chronic health or disability concerns. She also helps people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, control issues, and career-related stress.

People who choose her typically want straightforward, practical help to manage emotions, repair relationships, and find clearer direction. To start, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling.

BHow sessions work

Approaches for online sessions and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking actions that match those values even when emotions are painful. It is often used for anxiety, depression, chronic health concerns, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches alternative ways of responding. It is practical and commonly used for anxiety, mood disorders, sleep problems, and managing symptoms of ADHD.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that started early and still influence current connections. This approach is helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and problems with trust or intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients and caregivers clarify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together. This is a collaborative process that prioritizes everyday functioning and realistic steps.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss format preferences during the initial matching steps to choose what fits best for your routine.
