About Nancy

Nancy Tracy is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate major life changes, grief, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT-related concerns. Her work emphasizes clear, calm support and practical steps people can use between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters most, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

Sessions often include talking through recent events, trying small behavioral changes, and practicing new ways to express needs. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one tool she often uses to clarify feelings and improve emotional connection with oneself. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make values-based choices when life feels uncertain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternatives. Nancy has worked with a wide range of concerns over her career, including relationship problems, grief, communication difficulties, body image, codependency, and issues related to adoption and aging. She aims to meet each person where they are and tailor steps to their goals and pace.

Her style is warm and affirming. People who prefer straightforward talk, concrete strategies, and a respectful space to work through hard feelings tend to find this approach helpful. Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit individual schedules.

Online support

How EFT, ACT, and CBT Can Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people tune into and name their feelings so they can respond differently to painful emotions. Online sessions can use EFT to clarify attachment needs and shift unhelpful emotional patterns in conversation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters to them, which can be practiced between online sessions as homework or brief exercises.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In an online setting, CBT is useful for learning concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors between appointments.

Nancy will work together with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best. She treats finding the right method as a collaborative process, based on a person’s goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats: video calls for full interaction, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, or text messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, practice skills in real time, and maintain continuity when schedules change.
